Abstract
This note discusses the relationship between similarity flow in turbulent jets and plumes and the outer radial boundary conditions. The lateral inflow into such cores must be determined as part of the solution and cannot be treated as a disposable constant. The discussion provides an explanation of the flow profiles given previously in this journal by Schmidt, and shows that they can apply only to plumes in conical or wedgeshaped regions of moderately small semi-angle.
