Self-Similar Solutions of the Second-Order Model of the Far Turbulent Wake
A second-order semi-empirical two-dimensional model of turbulence in the approximation of the far turbulent wake is considered. The sought quantities are the velocity defect, kinetic turbulent energy, energy dissipation, and Reynolds stress. The full group of transformations admitted by this model is found. Self-similar solutions satisfying natural boundary conditions are constructed. The solutions obtained agree with experimental data.
