Re-evaluating wake width in turbulent shear flow behind an axisymmetric cylinder by means of higher order turbulence statistics

The free turbulent shear flow behind a long axisymmetric cylinder, i.e., a wake, is two-dimensional in nature and is composed of inner shear turbulence and outer potential, irrotational flow (free stream) regions. The conventional definitions of wake width, lu, are based on the mean velocity field,...
