Abstract: This paper presents the results of' an experimental (mainly photographic) study on the behaviour of plane turbulent denser Boussinesq-type wall jets and wall jumps on a smooth boundary. The distinction between the wall jet and wall jump has been brought out. Diagrams for predicting the growth rates of denser wall jets and wall jumps have been developed. Some interesting observations have been made regarding the temperature defect field in the denser wall jets for three values of the source Richardson number varying from 0.02 to about 0.2. A diagram has also been constructed to predict the flow regime for given source conditions and far-field stratified flow depth.
