N2 - Subsonic turbulent free jet, issuing from a lobed contoured nozzle in to quiescent air is investigated experimentally. Results are compared with a cir ular jet from a nozzle of the same exit area and same contraction profile. Mean flow characteristics, turbulence intensities and Reynolds shear stresses in the near field region are investigated by using Hot-wire Anemometry. An overall decrease in turbulence intensities and enhanced flow entrainment in the near field of lobed nozzle are observed.
