Abstract
Numerical finite-difference predictions are made of inert turbulent boundary-layer swirling flows. A variety of turbulence models are considered and a nonisotropic model is found to show more realistically the effects of swirl on jet development. Gross effects may be represented by an extended Prandtl mixing length model but constants appearing do not exhibit universality. This deficit is partially overcome by the use of an algebraically-modeled, nonisotropic energy-length turbulence model. The Richardson number and the local swirl number play important parts in linking the rtf-shear with the rx-viscosity and the nonisotropy of the turbulent viscosity.
