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.
