An impulsively started turbulent jet injected into quiescent surroundings with a constant inlet velocity has been studied experimentally. Results show that the jet length increases linearly with the square-root of time, over a wide range of Reynolds number calculated with respect to the jet diameter. The celerity factor, x(f)/tU, has been found to be nearly constant at 2.47 throughout with a 5% variance. Here, x(f) is the jet length, t is the time and U is the jet exit velocity. These results compare favourably with earlier results reported at lower Reynolds numbers. Finally, we present a simple model based on the integral energy balance of the turbulent boundary layer equation for an impulsively started turbulent axisymmetric jet. The model predicts a jet length that scales as, (x(f)/d) = root(9B/10)(tU/d) where d is the nozzle diameter and B(approximate to 6.0) is the velocity-decay constant. This gives a celerity factor, alpha equivalent to root 9B/10 = 2.32 in close agreement with the experiments.
