Different experimental techniques have been used in order to describe the flow pattern generated by fifteen jets impinging on a plane wall. The spreading over method revealed the jet influence on the impinged surface, particularly reattachment and detachment lines. The laser sheet visualizations show complex vortical structures such as the ground vortex and secondary rolling-ups near the target plate have been deduced. Velocity measurements have been realised to confirm these observations and to specify the flow pattern. A schema of the flow near the impinged wall is thus drawn.
