Experiments were conducted to study the influence of

40000, 20000, and 6000. The mean jet Reynold's number is
based on jet diameter (5 mm) and jet average outlet velocity.
The separation distance between jet and impinging plate is d,

L separation distance between jet and impinging plate is d, 2d,
4d and 6d for all the configurations investigated.
