An analytical description of the energy balance in turbulent, round, free jets

This brief contribution provides a quantification of the terms of the turbulent kinetic energy transport equation for a round steady turbulent free jet. The analysis is based on the assumption of flow self-similarity, and it is performed by means of a simple analytical asymptotic analysis. The resul...
