Diffusion of Three-Dimensional Slot Jets With Deep and Shallow Submergence

To minimize the adverse effects of thermal discharges on the natural environment, several methods are utilized to mix heated discharges with colder receiving water thoroughly and quickly. By discharging the heated water with high initial velocity it behaves like a non-buoyant jet. The velocity discontinuity between the jet and the receiving water gives rise to strong shearing action generating turbulence, which diffuses the heated water into the colder water keeping the temperature rise within acceptable limits.
