Some Unexpected Results of Experimental Measurement of Papers in Experiments in Fluids
Abstract
In this letter, the papers by Lin & Sheu [1] and Wang et al. [2] were published by Experiments in Fluids have been carefully examined. A physically unreasonable phenomenon is that, based on the exact same experimental setups, for the parallel jets in paper by Lin & Sheu [1], the locations of Merging Point (M.P.) and Combining Point (C.P.) are closer to the inlet section (x=0) than those of inclined jets in paper by Wang et al. [2]. The figures reproduced from those two papers of experimental measurements are shown in the following Figure 1-4. In these figures, the space of the twin jets is S=60mm, and the width of the jet is D=2mm, thus S/D=30.
