An impinging jet is a fluid moving through a circular, vertical tube or retangular slot which strikes an horizontal plate after leaving the tube or the slot. Such motions are studied in the paper. The authors analyze axial and radial jets; the first strike directly the plate, the second indirectly, after a circular plate was placed between the tube and the striking plate. Such motions can be encountered in many experimental or industrial equipments, and there are many parameters to be determined: heat and mass transfer, velocity fields, streamlines and so on. The flows depend on Reynolds, Grashof, Nusselt and Prandtl numbers, and on geometric parameters. After the formulation of the problem in the introductory part of the paper, the authors solve the nondimensionalized problem approximately, by using different numerical schemas. The results are presented in many plots, diagrams and tables, very useful for a good understanding of the studied phenomena. The concluding remarks at the end are also very useful for a complete understanding of the paper. The list of references contains 52 titles. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0898.00022].
