Abstract
Conventional method of defining half velocity widths is applicable only for axisymmetric jets. Hence, geometry based definition of half velocity width is used for non-circular jets. Usefulness of this method becomes less when there is no symmetry based on geometry. Hence, a new half velocity width is proposed based on equivalent area method. Newly proposed half velocity width is computed for a conventional circular jet and a non-circular jet. The comparison of half velocity widths obtained using conventional method and newly proposed method shows good agreement with each other for circular jet. Geometry based half width and equivalent area based half velocity width agree in the near field for the non-circular jet. Equivalent area based method is found as better representation of half velocity width for non-circular turbulent jets.
