Vertical Buoyant Jet
Provides a plot showing the dimensionless centerline velocity for a vertical buoyant jet based on the work by Chen and Chen (1979).
Information regarding the variables follows.
y-axis:
U1 = (Ucl/U0) F1/3 (r0/ra)-1/3 = dimensionless centerline velocity
where:
Ucl = centerline velocity
U0 = exit velocity
r0 = exit density
ra = ambient density
F = r0 U02 /(g D (ra - r0)) = Froude number
x-axis:
X(overbar) = F-1/2 (r0/ra)-1/4 (X/D) = dimensionless axial location
where:
X = distance from exit
D = diameter
