1. Examine the self-similarity of the profiles of the turbulent kinetic energy k, and turbulent dissipation ε. The scaling factor for the turbulent kinetic energy profile should be 1/(U_center)^2, because kinetic energy depends on the square of velocity. The scaling factor for the turbulent dissipation should be R(x)(1/2)/(U_center)^3, where R(x)(1/2) is the jet half width. 
2. Examine the self-similarity of the profiles of the radial velocity (scaled by U_center), the Reynolds stresses (scaled by (U_center)^2)) and the turbulent intensity (normalized by the square of the local axial velocity). Compare these profiles to those in Pope's Turbulent Flows, Figures 5.6-5.8.
