Abstract
Turbulent free shear flows occur if there are no walls directly at the flow. Figure 22.1 shows some examples: a free jet, a buoyant jet, a mixing layer with the free jet–boundary flow as a special case, and a wake flow. The corresponding laminar flows are treated in Sects. 7.2, 7.5, 10.5.4 and 12.1.5. The flow of a turbulent wall jet, which is a jet bounded on one side by a wall, is treated in Sect. 22.8 (the laminar wall jet is discussed in Sect. 7.2.7).
