Abstract

There is considerable interest in the mixing and dispersion characteristics of buoyant jets. This due to the practice of locating power stations and sewage outfalls in the marine environment. Submerged out-falls are frequently used to induce mixing between a liquid effluent and receiving water body in order to rapidly reduce effluent concentration to environmentally acceptable levels.
