Abstract
A mathematical model is set up to predict the deflection of a flow passing obliquely through a plane gauze. It differs from existing descriptions in accounting consistently for velocity variations in the deflecting flow, and in relating the deflection at the gauze to the total deflection in a more realistic way. The deflection at the gauze is specified in two ways, as being half the total, and as equalling the total. These two relations are found to represent the performance of gauzes whose solidities are, respectively, less than and greater than one-half. Formulae are developed which predict the flow deflection with good accuracy for these two régimes.Keywords
