For an axisymmetric wake, the maximum defect in the
mean velocity in the wake is given by

where C 0 and C 1 are constants. These results may be
compared with the corresponding cases of laminar flow.
The various parameters characterizing the behavior of
the turbulent jets or wakes are fairly independent of flow
Reynolds number.
