Abstract
As the direct result of turbulence generated at the borders of a submerged jet, the fluid within the jet will undergo both lateral diffusion and deceleration, and at the same time fluid from the surrounding region will be brought into motion. The approximate characteristics of the corresponding mean flow pattern are derived analytically, with the exception of a single experimental constant, through assumptions that: (1) The pressure is hydrostatically distributed throughout the flow; (2) the diffusion process is dynamically similar under all conditions; and (3) the longitudinal component of velocity within the diffusion region varies according to the normal probability function at each cross section. Experimental data are presented which justify the analysis and provide the necessary coefficients for flow from both slots and orifices. All results are reduced to a form immediately useful for design purposes.
