Exploring the Properties of Stratified Fluids: Vertical Jets (Jamie Walsh, UNC-Chapel Hill)

Abstract: The main focus of our research has been the properties of stratified fluids, most especially the behavior of a plume from a vertical jet as it moves through a stratified tank. Although the issue we are most intersted in is when the plume rises to the top of the tank based on bouancy, we also measure its height, varying the location of the jet, density of both fluid layers, and the temperature and density of the jet fluid.
