Abstract
This report was prepared to describe the results of an experimental study of free turbulent mixing in axial pressure gradients. Both the pressure field and the velocity field were extracted using pitot-static probes and both a single normal wire and an X-array hot-wire anemometers.
The resulting hot-wire data shown in Figures 1-80 present an excellent visual representation of the physical aspects of turbulent flow.
An analysis of the results of this experiment show conclusively that the Reynolds Stresses in the flow are related by some function to the turbulent kinetic energy; however, no specific function was found that would produce the relationship observed in this study.
