The results of an experimental study of deep submerged multiple-port thermal discharges are compared to the predictions of a theory treating the dilution of merging multiple-port buoyant jets discharge from a row of equally spaced ports. The paper summarizes the considerable alteration of the Hirst [11] model necessary to adequately treat merging multiple jets. The essential features of the analysis are: (1) the gradual transition of the profiles from simple axisymmetric profiles to merging profiles and finally to fully merged, pseudo-slot, two-dimensional profiles, and (2) an entrainment based on the available entrainment surface. Results indicate that the overprediction of plume characteristics associated with certain other models as compared to experimental data may be overcome using such an analysis and that suitable prediction may be obtained.

This paper presents an experimental study of turbulent buoyant jets discharged vertically through a single circular submerged pipe into a large body of stagnant nonstratified water of finite depth. The experiments were carried out in laboratory facilities consisting of a closed system capable of maintaining steady-state conditions. The temperature characteristics of a hot rising plume were obtained, for numerous flows, as a function of discharge Froude number and discharge depth. The governing equations to predict jet characteristics are also presented, using an integral approach. A computer was used for reduction of experimental data and the numerical solution to the governing equations. The experimental and theoretical results compared favorably.

The mean-flow and turbulent properties of two-dimensional buoyant jets discharged vertically upward into a crossflowing ambient have been measured in a hydraulic flume, using laser velocimetry and microresistance thermometry. The trajectory of the resulting inclined plume is found to be nearly straight, beyond a short distance from the source. The flow is essentially characterized by the presence of buoyancy forces along (s-direction) and perpendicular (n-direction) to the trajectory. While the s-component buoyancy tends to destabilize the flow and hence raise the overall level of turbulence in the flow, the n-component buoyancy tends to augment turbulence on the upper part of the flow and inhibit turbulence on the lower part. The experimental data are used to examine these effects quantitatively.

This paper describes the results of an experimental study on the drag coefficient of a two-dimensional sharp-edged plate placed on a plane boundary at different inclinations to the flow. Experimental data were collected to investigate the effects of (i) inclination of the plate to the flow, (ii) the relative submergence of the plate in a turbulent boundary layer, and (iii) the proximity of the tunnel walls to the plate, on the drag coefficient of the plate. Relations have been developed to enable correction for “blockage effect” and also to evaluate the effects of inclination of the plate and the presence of the boundary layer on the drag coefficient of the plate. Data collected by other investigators in wind tunnels of various dimensions have also been used in the development of the foregoing relations.

A model of moisture movement in wood is presented in this paper in a two-dimensional-in-space formulation. The finite-difference technique has been used in order to obtain the solution of the problem. The model was applied to predict the moisture content in sawn boards from pine during long term storage under outdoor climatic conditions. The satisfactory agreement between the numerical solution and experimental data was obtained.

2D models based on the shallow water equations are widely used in river hydraulics. However, these models can present deficiencies in those cases in which their intrinsic hypotheses are not fulfilled. One of these cases is in the presence of weirs. In this work we present an experimental dataset including 194 experiments in nine different weirs. The experimental data are compared to the numerical results obtained with a 2D shallow water model in order to quantify the discrepancies that exist due to the non-fulfillment of the hydrostatic pressure hypotheses. The experimental dataset presented can be used for the validation of other modelling approaches.
