Abstract
this study, a mathematical model for the Reynolds stress profiles in different regions of a submerged turbulent plane offset jet was developed. The two-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes and the continuity equations were solved for the determination of the velocity and the Reynolds stress profiles within the jet layer in different regions of a submerged offset jet. The theoretical derivations involved a boundary layer approximation. The velocity profiles in the preattachment region obeyed an exponential function, whereas those in the impingement and wall jet regions followed a combination of a power function for the inner layer and an exponential function for the outer layer of the jet. The computed velocity and the Reynolds stress profiles corresponded well with the previous experimental results of the flow in submerged turbulent plane offset jets.
