The jet pump is a centrifugal pump with one or more impeller and diffuser with the addition of a jet injector.
When a jet is used with a centrifugal pump a portion of the water delivered by the pump is returned to the jet ejector to operate it.
Because jet pumps are centrifugal pumps, the air handling characteristics are such that the pump should be started with the pump and piping connections to the water supply completely filled with water.

The experiments on this project proceeded on the premise that adding an array of auxiliary jets behind a main jet injector would alleviate the large region of low pressure typically found downstream of a normal, sonic injector in supersonic flow and also possibly increase in intensity of the upstream high-pressure region.
Placed under the Mach disk of the main jet, the secondary jets are hypothesized to push the plume of the main jet further up into the flow, increasing the force on the plate, and Shadowgraphs were used to test this hypothesis.
By considering the locations of the secondary injectors to the main injector for both the low Mach number, low-pressure ratio tests and the main tests conditions, it can be surmised that the greatest benefit from the secondary jets can be extracted when the jets are placed within the main injector’s downstream low-pressure region.
