While considering air exchange scheme in rooms with heat dissipations, it is often preferred when jet flows directly into the working area. It is necessary to take into account the influence of irregularities of velocity profiles in jets that are formed at the outflow from nozzle with different geometry. The jet outflow from inlet holes located beyond elbow was numerically studied. The influence of geometrical parameters of inlet hole on the jet characteristics was investigated. The characteristic flow streamlines for several geometries of a horizontal nozzle, the main characteristics of jet outflow were computed. The relationship between the inlet hole location relative to elbow and the outflow jet characteristics were determined. It was revealed that when the inlet hole is located in close proximity to the elbow, the velocity profiles have strong irregularities, and the jet outflows at an angle to the horizon. When the distance between the hole and the elbow increases, the jet strengthens, the transversal component of velocity does not affect the jet, the outflow angle tends to horizontal. The obtained results can be used for calculating the circulation of air masses in ventilated rooms.

The research deals with supply air jets in air-conditioned rooms which have different lengths. The study was conducted according to the numerical method using the Fluent software package. Discharge conditions are equal in all cases. As a result, dependences of main kinematic and geometric jet’s characteristics (width and jet range, longitudinal velocity profiles, axial velocity, average velocity of the back flow, flow rates in the cross sections of the direct and back flows, distribution of static pressure along the length of the jet) on longitudinal constraint parameter are determined (length of room). The calculation results are presented in the form of corrections to the characteristics of a free jet, taking into account the influence of longitudinal constraint. It is found that influence of Archimede’s buoyant force on the temperature distribution along the length of non-isothermal jet is inconsequential. Dependence of dimensionless temperature on the jet axis of dimensionless length of the room of the coordinate x̄ is determined. The results can be used in calculation of airflow circulation in different purpose air-conditioned rooms.
