Abstract:
We perform direct simulation of a statistically steady jets and plume and present the value of the entrainment coefficient decomposed into 1) turbulence production; 2) buoyancy effects; and 3) deviations from self-similarity. We explain theoretically how the two cases are linked and present a generalisation valid for forced and lazy plumes.
