This paper describes the results of our experiments on and theoretical predictions of the trajectories of multiple buoyant and nonbuoyant jets. Our theoretical calculations employed a finite difference method of analysis of both a momentum integral equation and the law of conservation of momentum. Results are presented for cases in which the ratio of the jet velocity to the crossflow of arbitrary velocity distribution ranges from 1.2 to 10.6. Our theoretical predictions are shown to be in close agreement with available experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
