The turbulent wall jet: A triple-layered structure and incomplete similarity

Abstract: We demonstrate using the high-quality experimental data that turbulent wall jet flows consist of two self-similar layers: a top layer and a wall layer, separated by a mixing layer where the velocity is close to maximum. The top and wall layers are significantly different from each other, and both exhibit incomplete similarity, i.e., a strong influence of the width of the slot that had previously been neglected.turbulence ͉ turbulent jets ͉ scaling ͉ power law

“…This may be because the present measurement was located in the range x/h<5.25 where the profile was still developing. Barenblatt et al [19] found that the growth of the half-width in an intermediate region downstream, h≪x≪H, where H was a characteristic length of the setup, depending on the height of the slot, according to the scaling law…”

“…Conventional scaling parameters are the mean maximum velocity, u max , and the upper half-width, y U 1=2 , where the mean velocity is equal to one half of the maximum velocity for the outer layer, and the friction velocity u t and the kinematic viscosity ν for the inner layer. More recently, Barenblatt et al [19] suggests that the lower half-width, y L 1=2 , is also an important scaling parameter to present the incomplete similarity of the turbulent wall jet. Hence three layers of the velocity profile, top, intermediate, and wall layer are divided by y U 1=2 and y L 1=2 .…”

“…No entanto, esta hipótese é aplicável apenas a alguns tipos de escoamentos, por exemplo: escoamentos de Couette e de Poiseuille. Vale ressaltar que os escoamentos de Couette e de Poiseuille possuem similaridade completa, ou seja, não dependem das condições iniciais (BARENBLATT, 2003;BARENBLATT;CHORIN;PROSTOKISHIN, 2005).…”
