An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of nozzle geometry on the mixing characteristics and turbulent transport phenomena in turbulent jets. The nozzle geometry examined were round, square, cross, eight-corner star, six-lobe daisy, equilateral triangle as well as ellipse and r...
