Abstract: The paper describes an analytical and experimental investigation of the circulation and mixing induced by a buoyant surface jet discharging into an originally stratified reservoir. Several methods were used to study the circulation patterns and the degree of mixing in the model. Systematic experiments were conducted to study the effects of jet-discharge and reservoir-density. Experiments were also conducted to study interfacial shear stresses and the degree of entrainment. Good agreement was obtained between theory and experiment.
