Summary:The purpose of this study was to extend a baseline empirical model to the case of jets entering the mainstream flow from opposed rows of 45 degrees slanted slots. The results in this report were obtained using a spreadsheet modified from the one posted with NASA/TM--2010-216100. The primary conclusion in this report is that the best mixing configuration for opposed rows of 45 degrees slanted slots at any down stream distance is a parallel staggered configuration where the slots are angled in the same direction on top and bottom walls and one side is shifted by half the orifice spacing. Although distributions from perpendicular slanted slots are similar to those from parallel staggered configurations at some downstream locations, results for perpendicular slots are highly dependent on downstream distance and are no better than parallel staggered slots at locations where they are similar and are worse than parallel ones at other distances.
