Zone-Matching Methodology for Slot Jets in Water Bodies.

摘要

A zone-matching methodology is presented for predicting the flow field induced by single or multiple vertically oriented bottom discharges. The methodology utilizes a uniformly valid singular pertubation theory to match a set of analytic solutions which together comprise an approximate solution to the two-dimensional (downstream and vertical) steady-state boundary layer equations. This technique can be used to predict flow fields resulting from single or multiple discharges, with arbitrary water spacing, to either quiescent or uniformly cross-flowing ambient receiving water bodies. The technique also provides a method for predicting dilution factors and relative entrainment depths which is particularly useful in the development of discharge design.
