Interaction of a buoyant turbulent round jet with a co-flowing wind /

A broad effort is being conducted to develop an operational Warm Fog Dispersal System (WFDS) using ground-based heat sources. In order to determine the optimum heat and thrust for the combustors in the WFDS, investigations have been made of the buoyant motion in round- and plane-heated turbulent jets in co-flowing (that is, same direction) wind fields. This report describes a method of calculating the round jet case. The method can be used for jet velocities of 100m/sec or less, wind velocities below or equal to the jet velocity, and jet temperatures up to 3 times the ambient value. Initial jet velocities of 5 and 20m/sec and temperature excesses, relative to the ambient temperature, of .3 and 1 were selected for the calculations."Meteorology Laboratory Project 2093.""ADA021470 (from http://www.dtic.mil).""11 November 1975."Includes bibliographical references (page 35).A broad effort is being conducted to develop an operational Warm Fog Dispersal System (WFDS) using ground-based heat sources.
