The properties of plane turbulent buoyant jet
Abstract
The plane turbulent buoyant jet issuing vertically into quiescent fluid is studied analytically. Formulae on maximum velocity, temperature and entrainment rate are derived. These formulae agree well with the available experimental data for the whole region of jet and plume. Quantitative classifications of the flow regime of jet, transition and plume are given for the nondimensional distance from the jet exit.
