Environmental fluid dynamics-jet flow

Abstract

Jet flow is a very important research subject in both fundamental fluid dynamics and engineering applications. Jet flow has the essences of fluid dynamics, such as free and wall-bounded shear flows, turbulent flow, eddy and large vortical structures and their stability and control, and so forth. This article serves as an overview of our past and ongoing research activities on various types of jet flow, with particular reference to their application in the field of environmental fluid dynamics. The research objectives, approach, results and their engineering implications of each topic will be presented. © 2010 Publishing House for Journal of Hydrodynamics.
