Tóm tắt

Surface discharges of negatively buoyant jets into moving ambient water create a range of complex flow patterns. These complexities arise through the interplay between the discharge’s initial fluxes and the motion of the ambient current. In this study a series of laboratory experiments were conducted for negatively buoyant surface discharges into crossflow to investigate flow patterns under different discharge and ambient conditions. The results compared with simulations of the CORMIX model, an expert system for ocean outfall design. In CORMIX, the simulation module DHYDRO for dense discharges has been used. Finally the flow different patterns were arranged in a dimensionless diagram to propose a modified flow classification system with new criteria.
