A study of laminar buoyant jets discharged at an inclination to the vertical buoyancy force

Impinging plane fountains in a homogeneous fluid

“…This confirms the relation between ðH þ X d Þ=X in and H=X in predicted in the scaling (27) and shows that / ¼ 1=2 is the appropriate power for the plane impinging fountains with the values of Re; Fr and H=X in considered here. Fig.…”

“…It is found that the variation in the augmented spreading distance from Pr ¼ 7 to 700 is only 0.25%, indicating that the dependence of ðH þ X d Þ=X in on Pr is negligible. Thus g ¼ 0 is the appropriate power in the scaling (27) for the range of Pr considered. Fig.…”

“…For higher Fr in the same range of Re, they observed sinuous instabilities in the rising fountain column. Details of others investigations on free fountains and buoyancy-dominated flows can be found in [25][26][27].…”

“…Since the powers /; g and c in the scaling (27) have been empirically determined to be 1/2, 0 and 0, respectively, for the plane impinging fountains with the parameter values considered, the scaling (27) for a fixed H=X in should be,…”

Height and stability of laminar plane fountains in a homogeneous fluid

“…As shown above similar scaling relations have been obtained by various researchers, however there are significant variations in the constant of proportionality [18]. Details of other numerical and experimental investigations on fountains and buoyancy dominated flows, apart from the works mentioned above, can be found in [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32].…”
