The properties of a round turbulent buoyant jet
Abstract
A round turbulent buoyant jet issuing vertically into quiescent fluid is studied theoretically. Formulae on maximum velocity, temperature, concentration 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.
