An asymptotic procedure is presented to evaluate the tracer trajectory in a two-stream turbulent pipe mixing unit with an oblique branch. The proposed mixing jet trajectory estimate near the injection point is compared with the existing experimental data and used to calculate the critical mixing configurations. In addition, it is shown that the well-known tracer jet profile can be recovered for the case of a normally issued tracer turbulent jet
