Abstract
A three-dimensional jet of low temperature discharged from a rectangul ar flume on the horizontal surface of a large water body of higher tem perature was investigated experimentally. The longitudinal variations of the location of the jet axis, vertical and lateral widths of the je t and the time-averaged velocity and temperature at the jet axis are w ell correlated by a scaling law derived from the dimensional analysis of the governing equations and boundary conditions. The vertical and l ateral profiles of both the time-averaged velocity and temperature sho w satisfactory similarity profiles.
