Turbulent mixing layer flow was simulated by the discrete vortex method
and viscosity was modeled by the random walk method and the solid wall was represented by the vortex sheet in the simulation. The predictions of the profiles of mean velocity and turbulent flow parameters agree well with experimental data. The results show that the peak value of Reynolds shear stress increases but the fluctuations of the peak value occur because of vortex-pairing
and vorticity peak value increases in the downstream direction. Then the effect of Reynolds number on the distribution of the turbulent flow parameters at the same velocity ratio was explored. It seems that the peak values of Reynolds shear stress under different Reynolds numbers will increase at the similar slope in the downstream direction. The average vorticity peak value will decrease in the downstream direction
and the decrease rate will increase with Reynolds number. In addition
the vorticity peak value in each section will increase nearly linearly with Reynolds number.
