Random Vortex-Street Model for a Self-Similar Plane Turbulent Jet
Random Vortex-Street Model for a Self-Similar Plane Turbulent Jet
We ask what determines the (small) angle of turbulent jets. To answer this question we first construct a deterministic vortex-street model representing the large-scale structure in a self-similar plane turbulent jet. Without adjustable parameters the model reproduces the mean velocity profiles and the transverse positions of the large-scale structures, including …
