Turbulent water jet Note range of eddy scales and self- similar - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Turbulent water jet Note range of eddy scales and self- similar structure. Big whirls have little whirls, That feed on their velocity; And little whirls have lesser whirls, And so on to viscosity. - L. F. Richardsons prescient 1922
