| Abstract |
Some of the results of an extensive series of experiments to study the characteristics of merging, horizontally discharged buoyant jets in a linearly density stratified current are summarized. The experiments were conducted in a towing tank to simulate conditions typical of ocean outfalls. The most important source parameter affecting dilution was found to be the buoyancy flux per unit length, b, and the effect of the current speed, u, is expressed by the ratio F = cu u/b. Dilution is unaffected by current for F < 0.1, but thereafter increases with current speed as the rise height decreases. |
