THE STRUCTURE OF FREE AND CONFINED TURBULENT VORTICES

Abstract

The turbulent entrainment analysis of the axisymmetric free turbulent jet developed by Faris is extended to describe the free turbulent vortex, and the resulting theory is compared with that of Newman and the experimental data of Gasparek and Dosanjh. The theory is then extended to describe the confined turbulent vortex and is compared with experimental measurements taken in a sink type vortex confined in a cylinder.
