Abstract:
Turbulent entrainment laws obtained experimentally for an annular two-layer stratified flow are predicted theoretically using the mixing model recently developed by Mory (1991). This paper shows how the salinity spectra measured by Chai and Kit (1991) can be utilized by the model equations to predict the power of the entrainment law for a flow in an annulus with or without a velocity shear across the density interface. The predicted values are found to be very close to the measured ones. © 1995.
