Description:
The results of an experimental and analytical study of deep submerged multiple-port thermal discharges are presented. The experimental results include the measured downstream thermal dilution, width, and centerline trajectory of the buoyant thermal plume from multiple port discharges consisting of a row of equally spaced discharge ports. Independent parameters for which measurements were obtained include port spacing, discharge Froude Number, discharge angle, and discharge to ambient velocity ratio. Results indicate that decreasing port spacing greatly decreases thermal dilution. The analytical portion of this report presents a modified version of the Hirst lumped differential plume model.
