  Videos
 

 

The shadowgraph video sequence shows a heated jet of water being discharged into a cooler environment containing water at room temperature. The hot water temperature at the nozzle exit is 55oC while the surrounding water temperature is 25oC. The nozzle diameter is 10.5 mm and the flow rate is 4 liters per minute. The jet Reynolds number based on inflow conditions is around 17000. The jet is in the mildly mixed convection regime and becomes turbulent downstream.
