The development of vortices in a mixing layer
Abstract
The theoretical scheme proposed in this paper brings some new materials to the knowledge of ordered unsteady phenomena occurring downstream of a separation in a two dimensional flow at high Reynolds number. This scheme explains the formation of large eddies and gives a simple description of the initial development of a mixing layer. Due to the complexity of the problem, only evolution laws can be formulated, but they give an admissible model which agrees fairly well with experiment.
