Abstract

Many salient features of fully developed turbulent jets, plumes and wakes with steady mean flow are shown clearly by the relationship between the momentum flux and the mass flux in the column of moving fluid. Using a simple model for the flows, this relationship can be found from the solution of a single ordinary differential equation and the character of many related flows can be represented immediately (except for actual distribution in space) on a single momentummass flux diagram.

In this note some approximate solutions based on dimensional arguments are outlined briefly for cases of buoyant and non-buoyant wakes and jets directed along the axis of a uniform main stream, and momentum-mass flux curves are presented.
