Mixing Characteristics of Negatively Buoyant Swirling Plume
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 109, Issue 7
Abstract
Circular jets with swirl have been used widely in combustion chambers and burners because they achieve better dilution and mixing at small distances from the nozzle. This characteristic of swirling jet has a significant potential for ocean outfall applications in increasing the rapidity of mixing of waste water at small distances from the effluent port. A preliminary experimental study is described which investigated the mixing of a negatively buoyant swirling jet.
