Summary

For plane turbulent jets and wall jets in uniform streaming flow a simple method, based on a simple empirical formula for the rate of growth which differs from that proposed by Abramovich, is presented. The predictions of length scale, l0, and velocity scale, u0, are in good agreement with experimental results for all ratios of free-stream to jet exit velocity and the eddy viscosity Reynolds number has the correct asymptotic values.
