Abstract Subsonic swirling steam induced turbulence, its dissipation, and entrainment inside the concurrent flowing water has been investigated on an experimental basis. Pressure fluctuations of dissimilar amplitudes have been observed which have been attributed to the vortices and hence instances for entrainment on a spatial basis. The extent of turbulence dissipation has been measured by the rate of decrement of the smallest pressure fluctuation of amplitude 0.04 bars. It has been observed that the turbulence dissipation along radial direction rises from 2.3 to 6.3 fluctuations/cm with rising in the inlet pressure of steam & till 12.5 fluctuations/cm in case of rising in rpm of the swirler. On a temporal scale, the turbulence dissipation varies from 0.7 fluctuations/sec at initial conditions which rise till 1.9 fluctuations/sec with the rise in inlet pressure of steam & 3.7 fluctuations/sec in case of rising in rpm of the swirler. Effect of rising in compressibility & rpm on sheer layer trans
