An experimental investigation of the flow development of an axisymmetric jet exhausting into a moving air stream is made for two values of the ratio of jet velocity to external air velocity. The u -component turbulence intensity and Reynolds shear stress measurements together with the dissipation length scales inferred from measured u -component spectra suggest that the turbulence similarity assumptions are incorrect for the present flow situation. A discussion of the turbulence structure of the flow indicates that self-preservation does not apply for this situation and that the flow far downstream depends strongly on the complete past history.
