Abstract This paper assesses the suitability of the inflow Reynolds number defined by Reo ≡ UoD/ν (here Uo and D are respectively the initial jet velocity and diameter while ν is kinematic viscosity) for a round air/air jet. Specifically an experimental investigation is performed for the influences of Uo, D and Reo on the mean-velocity decay and spread coefficients (Ku, Kr) in the far field of a circular air jet into air from a smoothly contracting nozzle. Present measurements agree well with those previously obtained under similar inflow conditions. The relations Ku ∝ Uo and Kr ∝ 1/Uo for Uo < 5 m/s appear to work, while each coefficient approaches asymptotically to a constant for Uo > 6 m/s, regardless of the magnitudes of Reo and D. It is revealed that Reo may not be an appropriate dimensionless parameter to characterize the entire flow of a free air/air jet. This paper is the first paper that has challenged the suitability of Reo for turbulent free jets.
