This is how to create a procedural jet engine flame plume in Blender on the Cycles engine. Adjust numbers as needed for desired result.
Shift+A -> Mesh -> Cylinder
Edit Mode -> Delete end caps
Select lines at one end -> S to scale down
Object Mode
Properties -> Modifiers -> Add Modifier -> Solidify
- Solidify Thickness = .47 m
- Rim = Fill
Properties -> Modifiers -> Add Modifier -> Subdivision Surface
- Levels viewport = 2
Properties -> Modifiers -> Add Modifier -> Displace
- New Texture
- Strength = .100
Properties -> Textures -> new texture for displacement modifier
- Type = Distorted Noise
- Distortion = Voronoi F3
Go to Shader Editor
New Material -> name "JetPlume"
Shift+A -> Input -> Texture Coordinate
Shift+A -> Texture -> Voronoi (x2)
Shift+A -> Texture -> Noise
Shift+A -> Converter -> Math (x8)
Shift+A -> Converter -> ColorRamp
Shift+A -> Converter -> Separate XYZ (x2)
Shift+A -> Shader -> Emission
Shift+A -> Shader -> Transparent BSDF
Shift+A -> Shader -> Mix Shader (x2)
Shift+A -> Color -> Mix Color
