Abstract
To obtain a high velocity, coherent, propulsive water
jet, proper nozzle design is required. Existing high performance
nozzles are considered, and a selected design is
tested to provide optimization and performance data in the
form of velocity and thrust loss with increasing jet standoff.
An expression is developed to predict the velocity
loss using an empirical friction factor value determined
from the data.
