Abstract

The series of moments of the velocity field in a two-dimensional zone of mixing is calculated in this article by numerically solving a system of turbulent-transfer differential equations derived from an equation for a single-point distribution function of the velocity pulsation field [1] and simplified to an approximation of the boundary layer. The closed form of the transfer equation is obtained at the level of the third moments using the Millionshchikov hypothesis [2]. The differential operator of the system under this closure turns out to be weakly hyperbolic [3], and not parabolic. A difference scheme is proposed that realizes the method of matrix fitting [4]. A comparison is carried out with an experiment [5, 6].
