A similarity law is proposed to provide effective jet penetration and mixing of a tracer in turbulent tube flow. The scaling law is derived from approximate solutions to the equations of motion for the case of a single, fully developed turbulent jet issuing normally to the flow. Jet properties are correlated with experimental measurements on a methane tracer.
