Mixing of Submerged Two-Dimensional Buoyant Jets in Uniform Bodies of Water in the Absence and Presence of Wind Action.

摘要

The mixing and flow behavior of submerged buoyant jets,discharged from sources with no initial net horizontal momentum flux into bodies of water of uniform density in the absence and presence of wind action,have been studied. A mathematical model,based on the initial fluxes of buoyancy and momentum,was developed to help describe the buoyant jet behavior in stagnant water of infinite depth. This model was confined to a slot source discharging vertically. A numerical solution of the model in terms of the characteristic source parameters was provided. The results were applied to the finite depth case when the free surface has no effect.
