Heated Water Jet in Coflowing Turbulent Stream

Abstract
The effects of ambient turbulence on temperature and salinity distributions of heated water and neutrally buoyant salt water jets were studied for a wide range of densimetric jet Froude numbers, jet discharge velocities, and ambient turbulence levels in a 4-ft wide channel. Estimates of vertical and lateral diffusivity coefficients for heat and for salt were obtained from salinity and temperature distributions taken at several stations downstream of the injection point. Readily usable correlations are presented for plume center-line temperature, plume width, and trajectory.
