For designing ventilation systems it is therefore of great importance to have a good understanding of air jets to avoid draught, which might lead to discomfort. At the same time as we want a good indoor climate, we also want to reduce energy consumption. The purpose of this study is to investigate the flow and thermal characteristics of warm air jets supplied under the ceiling, as a heati
