An Experimental Study of Single and Multiple Turbulent Buoyant Jets in Crossflow

The phenomenon of turbulent, buoyant jets in crossflow is a fundamental fluid mechanics problem with many application areas, including jets discharged from natural and mechanical draft cooling towers. Buoyant jets have been studied for many years, and as a result there exists a large body of literature on this and other related topics. An extensive review of this literature showed that there was a need for an improved laboratory simulation technique and quantitative data on both single and multiple buoyant jets.
