Entrainment rates in turbulent shear flows
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 March 2006
Abstract
The rate of entrainment of ambient fluid across a turbulent interface has been defined as the mean rate of increase of turbulent fluid in the flow direction. Experiments to measure this quantity by conditional sampling in a two-dimen- sional wall jet are described. Further, estimates of this entrainment rate were made for the turbulent boundary layer, two-dimensional wake, two-dimensional jet and round jet and the results are discussed.
