Abstract
A model for turbulent entrainment across an interface using the “persistence” of nearby vortices is described. If a vertically inpinging jet is tilted slightly and precessed, counter-intuitively the entrainment rate drops dramatically at moderateRi. Implications for geophysical flows are discussed.
