The jet was generated by means of an opened pipe supplied tangentially (tangential nozzle), and placed in a wind tunnel. Flow properties were investigated in several cross-sections downstream of the nozzle. The flow direction and the total pressure were measured in function of the azimuthal angle and the distance from the axis of the system. The flow was visualized using the planar laser scattering technique. The decay of swirl intensity was measured by means of a probe with a rotating plate fixed to a miniature voltage generator.}, type={Article}, title={Effect of background flow on helical jet characteristics}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/125343/PDF/4_MECHANICAL_48_2001_4_Wojciechowski_Effect.pdf}, keywords={helical jet, tip vortex}, }
