TY  - JOUR
AB - We study the mixing processes inside a forced fountain using data from directnumerical simulation. The outer boundary of the fountain with the ambient is aturbulent/non-turbulent interface. Inside the fountain, two internalboundaries, both turbulent/turbulent interfaces, are identified: 1) theclassical boundary between upflow and downflow which is composed of the loci ofpoints of zero mean vertical velocity; and 2) the streamline that separates themean flow emitted by the source from the entrained fluid from the ambient (theseparatrix). We show that entrainment due to turbulent fluxes across theinternal boundary is at least as important as that by the mean flow. However,entrainment by the turbulence behaves substantively differently from that bythe mean flow and cannot be modelled using the same assumptions. This presentsa challenge for existing models of turbulent fountains and other environmentalflows that evolve inside turbulent environments.
