Abstract
Shallow jets are two-dimensional plane jets that extend fully over the depth of a fluid layer while their horizontal width greatly exceeds the depth. Many flows of hydraulic, environmental or geophysical interest are such shallow free turbulent jet flows, often with very high Reynolds number. In the far-field these flows exhibit large scale meandering motions with counter-rotating vortices on both jet sides. Experimental data and linear instability analyses show mean and turbulent properties, including a distinct two-dimensional turbulence spectral range, and conditions for growth and suppression of these flow instabilities.
