The effect of background turbulence on jet entrainment: an experimental study of a plane jet in a shallow coflow

Many effluents are released into water bodies or into the atmosphere, and dilution is relied on to minimize the toxic effects of the pollutants on the environment. Dilution occurs due to entrainment and subsequent mixing of the "clean" (or cleaner) ambient fluid and the effluent stream. In...
