Abstract

It is shown that a simple eddy viscosity model can predict accurately the velocity and temperature profiles of a fully developed axisymmetric buoyant plume in neutral surroundings, if the contribution of the turbulence to the vertical heat transport is accounted for. Calculations with turbulent Prandtl numbers near unity are shown to give the best agreement with experimentally determined profiles. (A)
