“…In the previous literature, the focus was mainly on the estimation of plume dimensions and very limited information is available on the temperature and flow fields. Very few investigators (Chan and Abou-Ellail, 1991;Zhang et al, 2002;Gulawani et al, 2008) have compared the measured temperature and velocity profiles (and that too only centerline) with the predicted profiles of various models (LHF, TFM and MFM). Zhang et al (2002) and Gulawani et al (2008) have presented a comparison of the predicted centerline temperatures with the experimental data of Parnell et al (1989).…”
