Flow geometry effects are examined on the turbulent mixing efficiency quantified as the mixture fraction. Two different flow geometries are compared at similar Reynolds numbers, Schmidt numbers, and growth rates, with fully developed turbulence conditions. The two geometries are the round jet and the single-stream planar shear layer. At the flow conditions examined, the jet exhibits an ensemble-averaged mixing efficiency which is approximately double the value for the shear layer. This substantial difference is explained fluid mechanically in terms of the distinct large-scale entrainment and mixing-initiation environments and is therefore directly due to flow geometry effects.
