Previous work has shown that the development of the three-dimensional wall jet exiting a round nozzle depends on both the jet exit condition or initial condition and other boundary conditions, such as the size of the wall behind the wall jet. In order to isolate the effect of the initial conditions on the development of the wall jets, an experimental investigation has been initiated to study two wall jets with different exit velocity profiles where all other conditions are the same. This paper reports on measurements of single-point moments performed in these two wall jets to confirm that there are differences between the development of the two jets.
