An Experimental Study of Plunging Liquid Jet Induced Air Carryunder and Dispersion

Abstract

This report is divided into four parts: Part-I provides an introduction to plunging jet phenomena and summarizes the major findings of our previous research. Part-II presents a summary of the major experimental findings obtained during at Rensselaer. Part-III describes two proposed mechanisms responsibles for air entrainment. Part-IV presents the results of two different numerical calculations, one using a Euler-Lagrangian approach and the other based on solving a full two-fluid model with a CFD code. Finally Part-V gives conclusions and recommendations for future research.
