Abstract
Pilot study experiments have been conducted with a horizontal wall-jet discharging beneath a baffle to create underflow in a two-layered stratified system. The form and structure of the interface has been investigated together with the rate of entrainment created by the submerged roller (flow gyre) over the incoming jet. Flow fields were monitored by ultrasonic anemometry and mixing determined from a multi-channel conductivity probe system for the fresh/salt water stratification under study. The effect of different blockage factors, created by the baffle and various positions of the interface have been considered. Provisional functional relationships have been established for the rate of salt mass entrainment, Richardson number and jet characteristics being identified as the dominant factors.
