Abstract
The light-scatter technique has been used to study the nozzle-fluid concentration field in an isothermal, turbulent, axisymmetric air/air free jet with the nozzle air marked by an oil smoke. The data on the mean concentration field appear to be the most accurate yet obtained, due to the peculiar advantages of the technique. The turbulent concentration fluctuations have been characterized as to intensity, spectral distribution, and two-point correlation. The intermittency factor has been measured and the properties of the turbulent fluid computed. Comparison with the results of other investigators who used heat to mark the nozzle fluid indicates a close similarity between the concentration and temperature fields.Keywords
