Abstract

Large-scale eddies and related aerooptic effects in a turbulent boundary layer, free mixing layer, and a jet flowing out of a round nozzle into a submerged space are simulated. The results obtained are used to analyze the distortions produced in the phase function of a coherent light beam by the turbulent fluctuations of the parameters of the medium. The results of numerical calculation are compared with the data of natural experiment and data obtained by solving Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations.
