Turbulent axisymmetric wall jet - Similitude of the flow outside of the boundary layer
Abstract
The turbulent flow of an axial jet discharging tangentially to a wall is investigated. It can be divided into two regions, one near wall which behaves as a boundary layer and an external region far from the wall which has the characteristics of a free jet. The locations of the maximum velocities do not correspond to those where the turbulent shear stress becomes zero. The present results concern the outer flow region.
