Laboratory experiments and dimensional considerations were used to investigate the spreading radius of axisymmetric fountains after they impinged upon the free surface of the initially homogeneous and quiescent ambient environment. The distance to which the fountain fluid spread, before plunging downwards as the result of negative buoyancy, was found to be a function of the source radius, the source Froude number and the depth at which the fluid was injected. For example, the greater the source Froude number (and hence initial momentum) the greater the spread of the surface flow for the same injection depth and source radius. Experimental data and simple scaling considerations were used to an equation for predicting the spreading distance. The results show the need for further studies to quantify mixing processes and dilution rates.
