Context: Astrophysical jets from various sources seem to be stratified, with a fast inner jet and a slower outer jet. As it is likely that the launching mechanism for each component is different, their interface will develop differential…

Jet impingement enhances heat transfer and is characterised by the complex flow patterns formed when a jet impacts a plate aligned normal to it. While traditional round jet impingement has been extensively studied to understand flow and…
Coherence between the velocity fluctuations measured at two points is investigated in a turbulent jet flow. Coherence is calculated in different regions of the flow by changing the separation between the points, the distance between the…

When turbulent boundary layer flows encounter abrupt roughness changes, an Internal Boundary Layer (IBL) forms. Equilibrium theory breaks down in the nonequilibrium IBL, which may extend O(10) km for natural atmospheric flows. Here, we find…
