Summary

For plane turbulent jets and wall jets in uniform streaming flow a simple method, based on a simple empirical formula for the rate of growth which differs from that proposed by Abramovich, is presented. The predictions of length scale, l 0, and velocity scale, u 0, are in good agreement with experimental results for all ratios of free-stream to jet exit velocity and the eddy viscosity Reynolds number has the correct asymptotic values.
