Spatial waves in turbulent jets. Part II
Abstract
The nonlinear development of a spatial growth wave in the shear layer of a circular jet is analyzed by an integral method based on energy considerations. The predicted development of the wave is in good agreement with the experimental data obtained previously except at the decaying portion of the flow. It also shows that the jet spreads more rapidly as the strength of the disturbance induced into the jet increases.
