Quantitative evidence of gas flows in the far upstream region of small nozzles with large boundary layer flow are discussed. Gas mass fluxes were measured using quartz crystal microbalances. Both nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases were used as test gases. Gas deposition rates on the order of 100 monolayers per minute were detected 13 inches upstream of the nozzle exit plane. It is significant to note that the crystals detected gases considerably beyond the Prandtl-Meyer turning angle. The data from these tests will be essential in the formulation of scaling laws and analytical prediction methods for viscous plume behavior
