Abstract: An experimental study on the breakup of a turbulent round-water jet in still air with a nozzle Reynolds number of 145,600 and Weber number of 10,400 is reported. The visual structure of the falling water jet was recorded ...

Abstract: Plunging flow dropshafts are commonly used in municipal drainage systems. In this Note, an exploratory study is reported on the physics of the flow and air demand in two dropshafts of 7.7 and 6.3 m drop height. The flow ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on flows inside stacked drop manholes (SDM). An SDM consists of two identical rectangular or square manhole chambers stacked together at an elevation difference. ...
