Abstract
The centre dilution, the trajectory and the turbulence structure of a plane buoyant jet issued horizontally are studied. It is found that the trajectory of a thermal water jet can be predicted reasonably well, provided that the conservation of heat flux, instead of buoyancy flux is used. The normalised centerline, turbulence intensity increases with decreasing radius of curvature. A “-3” spectral slope has been observed at the low frequencies of the spectrum of the temperature spectra, next to a “-5/3” inertial subrange.
