Abstract: The properties of buoyant and dense discharges in a horizontal mixing channel are evaluated analytically and experimentally. The mixing channel is shallow, of specified length and roughness, and connected to a reservoir ...

Abstract: Weirs are structures that allow uppermost layers of liquids to flow by gravity downstream. They are, therefore, inherently gravity skimmers, and have successfully been used as skimmers in numerous applications, including ...

Abstract: Polynomial weirs can be applied in agricultural and municipal engineering to produce a wide range of head-discharge behavior, including the proportional (linear) characteristics of the Sutro weir. This note describes a ...

Abstract: The flow characteristics of a turbulent underflow in a horizontal channel of limited depth are explored analytically and experimentally under a variety of upstream and downstream control conditions. Freshwater and salt ...

Abstract: Five series of experiments were performed to study the penetration and dilution properties of vertical negatively buoyant thermal jets (thermal fountains). The flow was turbulent, and the densimetric Froude number

Abstract: An experiment was conducted to examine a round hypersaline fountain. When the discharge was turbulent, and for large densimetric Froude numbers, the results have indicated that the maximum height of the fountain

Abstract: The effects of relative density difference on the dilution and height of vertical negative buoyant jets were investigated experimentally. These effects, which are related to fluid density, occurred in addition to the ...

Abstract: Series of plane turbulent negatively buoyant jet (or fountain) experiments were carried out by discharging saline water vertically upward from a rectangular slot into a stagnant fresh water environment. The plane jets were ...

Abstract: An experiment was conducted to examine the maximum penetration of a dense jet issuing vertically from a round source. This flow simulates the discharge of brine solution from desalination plants and other industrial ...

Abstract: The summer behavior of a surface thermal plume in a deep channel is investigated. An integral model is applied to predict the supercritical flow domain. The model is based on the concept of turbulent entrainment decay in ...
