Computer simulation of plane turbulent jets
Abstract
The large-scale turbulence of plane jets is investigated in a systematic manner using an ideal fluid model. In particular, a computer simulation is used to solve the problem concerning a jet issuing into a flooded space, without any simplifying assumptions. The results obtained support the contention that turbulent mixing in the initial section of jet is determined mainly by large-scale structures which are practically independent of the fluid viscosity. This explains why the turbulent jet parameters calculated using an ideal fluid model are in agreement with experimental data.
