Axial Dilution in Obstructed Round Bouyant Jet
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 115, Issue 1
Abstract
Experimental results concerning the axial concentration (or dilution) distribution of a round vertical turbulent buoyant jet of fresh water, discharged in a calm ambient saline solution and obstructed by a thin concentric disc of diameter D, placed horizontally at a distance H from the jet exit section of diameter d are presented and discussed. The functional relationship of axial concentration in the region beyond the disc is well established quantitatively and the important parameters affecting the concentration distribution are determined. A comparison of the present results with those of the unobstructed jet prove the effectiveness of the arrangement studied in increasing dilutions after the disc.
