The steady, three-dimensional, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations written in terms of velocity, vorticity, and temperature are solved numerically for channel flows and a jet in a cross flow. Upwind differencing of the convection term was used in the computation for convergence and simplicity. Comparisons were made with experimental results for laminar flow in the entrance region of a square channel, and good agreement was obtained. The method was also applied to a turbulent, buoyant jet in a cross-flow problem with the Boussinesq approximation and a constant Prandtl eddy viscosity model. Good agreement with experiment was obtained in this case also.

Abstract We consider a steady submerged laminar jet of viscous incompressible fluid flowing out of a tube and propagating along a solid plane surface. The numerical solution of Navier–Stokes equations is obtained in the stationary three-dimensional formulation. The hypothesis that at large distances from the tube exit the flowfield is described by the self-similar solution of the parabolized Navier–Stokes equations is confirmed. The asymptotic expansions of the self-similar solution are obtained for small and large values of the coordinate in the jet cross-section. Using the numerical solution the self-similarity exponent is determined. An explicit dependence of the self-similar solution on the Reynolds number and the conditions in the jet source is determined.
