Conditions are identified which insure optimum pipeline mixing at a T ‐junction. Analytical expressions, that result from detailed measurements of both near and far‐field momentum‐dominated jet trajectories in a crossflow, are renormalized in terms of pipe coordinates. It is demonstrated that a simple scaling law exists for the limiting geometry of either large or small jet‐to‐pipe diameter ratios. The scaling laws are shown to accurately correlate existing data for each limiting geometry.
