Jets and plumes are shear flows produced by momentum and
buoyancy forces. Examples include smokestack emissions, fires and
volcano eruptions, deep sea vents, thermals, sewage discharges,
thermal effluents from power stations, and ocean dumping of sludge.
Knowledge of turbulent mixing by jets and plumes is important for
environmental control, impact and risk assessment.
Turbulent Jets and Plumes introduces the fundamental concepts
and develops a Lagrangian approach to model these shear flows. This
theme persists throughout the text, starting from simple cases and
building towards the practically important case of a turbulent
buoyant jet in a density-stratified crossflow. Basic ideas are
illustrated by ample use of flow visualization using the
laser-induced fluorescence technique. The text includes many
illustrative worked examples, comparisons of model predictions with
laboratory and field data, and classroom tested problems. An
interactive PC-based virtual-reality modelling software (VISJET) is
also provided. Engineering and science students, researchers and
practitioners may use the book both as an introduction to the
subject and as a reference in hydraulics and environmental fluid
mechanics.
