fields, the moments of the probability density function of concentration have a very simple …

Scalar mixing from a concentrated source in turbulent channel flow

RA Lavertu, L Mydlarski - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2005 - cambridge.org
The mixing of a scalar (temperature) emitted from a concentrated line source in fully
developed high-aspect-ratio turbulent channel flow is studied. The motivation for the work is …
