Abstract
A study on the influence of the density difference between a jet and the surrounding fluid on the diffusion by a circular vertical submerged turbulent jet is presented. The results are summarized in Figs. 1(a) and 1(b), which show how the density and the velocity along the axis of the jet depend on the initial density difference between the jet and the surrounding fluid and on the velocity of the jet when it issues from a nozzle. The theoretical basis for the families of curves of Fig. 1 is described together with laboratory experiments, which confirmed the theoretical considerations. The experiments were performed with water jets. The density of the jet was 1,000 kg per cum (fresh water), the density of the surrounding fluid (salt solution) varied from 1,020 to 1,050 kg per cum. Because of the range of densities covered by the experiments the results apply to the case of sewage disposal in the marine e nvironment.
