An experimental investigation has been carried out to visualize the jet development, issuing from chevron nozzles, for a Reynolds number of 25000. Flow visualization was performed by laser illumination on the Titanium Tetrachloride smoke to visualize jet structure at different cross-sections along the jet axis; which was used to study the behavior of the flow development. Pitot pressure measurements were also carried out along the jet centreline in the near-field, to quantify the potential core and characteristic decay of the jets. The flow features reveals that, the non-axisymmetric structure of the jet results in enhanced mixing of the jet. It is also evident from the Pitot measurement that, the reduction in potential corelength is appreciable for both the chevron configurations, implying that the ability of the chevron to break down large scale coherent structures to refine the small-scale mixing of the jet. Moreover, it is also found that the number of the chevron tooth has a pronounced effect on the mixing characteristics.
