✦ Synopsis

The equations of m o m e n t u m and continuity of a Iree, axisymmetrical jet for an incompressible, inelastic, non-Newtonian fluid in isothermal flow are solved. Using the boundary layer approximations and a similarity transformation the resulting nort-linear third order ordinary differential equation is solved numerically. Velocity profiles are obtained and compared to previously known solutions for the two-dimensional jet. The significance of the results is discussed in detail. *) At present on leave at the Department of Chemical E~gineering, Stanford University, Stanford (Cal.), U.S.A.
