This study numerically investigates the flow characteristics of submerged impinging jets at a standoff distance of H/d = 3. The computational analysis is performed utilizing large eddy simulation (LES) alongside the one-equation Wray-Agarwal and the two-equation SST k-ω and RNG k-ε turbulence models. The current work emphasizes the hydrodynamic structures developing in the unconfined jet region and the variations in flow behavior at the stagnation zone across a range of impact angles (θ ≤ 90°) at Re (Reynolds number) = 23,400. Compared with PIV data, the Wray-Agarwal model accurately predicts the free-jet flow, whereas the RNG k-ε model excels in the wall-jet region. As the impingement angle increases, the pressure distribution calculated by the LES method gradually approaches the experimental results. When the impinging angle θ = 90°, LES has high prediction accuracy in both regions. In general, under the grid scheme used in this study, RNG k-ε can make a more accurate prediction of the average characteristics of the submerged impinging jet flow field.
