Turbulent length scales in nonequilibrium flows
Abstract
Turbulence models which relate the shear stress to other flow quantities and thus reduce the number of partial differential equations which must be solved, are widely used. Two of the most popular of these shear stress approximations are considered. Both are concerned with two-dimensional flows. The discussion is restricted to the prediction of a group of self-similar free shear flows for which both equations are approximately valid, but which show significant variations from flow to flow in both the turbulence kinetic energy and the turbulence length scale.
