Air Entrainment by Translating Plunging Jets

在各种自然气流（如瀑布）和技术气流（如化工厂的混合容器）中，都能体验到由俯冲射流产生的气流夹带。然而，这种流动并没有作为这种技术或自然流动的基本流动模块而受到关注。这项研究巧妙地利用了现有的设备和实验技术来研究这类流场的基本特征。预计这项研究将产生基准结果。

AbstractCTS-9876434Kenneth T. KigerUniversity of Maryland College ParkAir entrainment by a plunging jet is experienced in a wide range of natural (e.g., a waterfall) and technological (e.g., a chemical plant mixing vessel) flows. This flow has not, however, received attention as a basic flow module for such technological or natural flows.The proposed study is one that takes clever advantage of existing equipment and experimental techniques to investigate the basic features of this class of flow fields. It is expected that the study will yield bench mark results.
