Circular jets in crossflows of finite depth

This paper presents the results of a laboratory photographic study on the c haracteristics of vertical circular jets discharged from the bed at right a ngles into crossflows of finite depth. Such jets have been divided into two groups termed as deep water and shallow water jets. A parameter has been d eveloped to distinguish between deep and shallow water jets. While deep wat er jets are generally similar to jets in crossflows of large extent, shallo w water jets exhibit a number of differences including bifurcation, Correla tions have been developed for the characteristics of both deep and shallow water jets. The results of this study are important and useful for the hydr aulic design of submerged outfalls in rivers.
