A study of plane wall jet for destroying density current
Abstract
This paper proposes a new way to use a plane wall jet for destroying density current. Through theoretical analyses, a relation of mean velocity in cross section of the plane wall jet is developed and a expression of jet velocity is derived necessary for wall jet destroying density current under different water-sand conditions. By means of flume experiment, a delailed study is made on the phenomena, mechanism, and sand-intercepting and sand flushing effects of using wall jet destroying density current. And an exammation of these formulas is made with experiment data.
