Abstract

The linear-eddy model of turbulent mixing represents a spatially developing flow by simulating the time development along a comoving transverse line. Along this line, scalar quantities evolve by molecular diffusion and by randomly occurring spatial rearrangements, representing turbulent convection. The modelling approach, previously applied to homogeneous turbulence and to planar shear layers, is generalized to axisymmetric flows. This formulation captures many features of jet mixing, including differential molecular diffusion effects. A novel experiment involving two unmixed species in the nozzle fluid is proposed and analysed.
