Entrainment (hydrodynamics)

For other uses, see Entrainment (disambiguation).

In hydrodynamics, entrainment is the transport of fluid across an interface between two bodies by a shear-induced turbulent flow. Entrainment is important in turbulent jets, plumes, and gravity currents, and is an ongoing topic of research.
