Abstract Using two-dimensional high-speed measurements of the mixture fraction $Z$ in a turbulent round jet with nozzle-based Reynolds numbers $R{e}_{0}$ between 3000 and 18 440, we investigate the scalar turbulent/non-turbulent (T/NT) interface of the flow. The mixture fraction steeply changes from $Z= 0$ to a final value which is typically larger than 0.1. Since combustion occurs in the vicinity of the stoichiometric mixture fraction, which is around $Z= 0. 06$ for typical fuel/air mixtures… Expand
