T. Faure et G. Robert, REYNOLDS STRESS BALANCES IN A WAKE WITH D RAG AND IN THE WAKE OF A SELF-PROPELLED, PROPELLER-DRIVEN BODY, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie II. Mecanique, physique, chimie, astronomie, 321(11), 1995, pp. 455-461
All the terms in the Reynolds stress balances are experimentally evalu
ated in a wake with drug and in the wake of a self-propelled, propelle
r-driven body. The fundamental difference between these two kinds of f
low is particularly evident in the analysis of the axial Reynolds stre
ss, the axial-radial shear and the radial-tangential shear balances.
