Abstract
The impinging jet problem is solved by an iterative finite-difference technique. Reynolds stresses are assumed to be related to the mean strain by a scalar eddy viscosity. The eddy viscosity is assumed to depend on the level of energy fluctuations and a length scale. The level of energy fluctuations is obtained from a second-order differential equation, while the length scale of turbulence is prescribed on the basis of experimental information. The solutions show reasonable agreement with experiment.
