    • The mechanics of submerged multiport diffusers for bouyant discharges in shallow water 

      Jirka, Gerhard H.; Harleman, Donald R. F. (MIT Energy Lab, 1973)
      A submerged multiport diffuser is an effective device for disposal of water containing heat or other degradable wastes into a natural body of water. A high degree of dilution can be obtained and the environmental impact ...

    • Modelling of unidirectional thermal diffusers in shallow water 

      Lee, Joseph Hun-Wei; Jirka, Gerhard Hermann; Harleman, Donald R. F. (MIT Energy Laboratory, 1977)
      This study is an experimental and theoretical investigation of the temperature field and velocity field induced by a unidirectional thermal diffuser in shallow water. A multiport thermal diffuser is essentially a pipe laid ...

    • Near field performance of staged diffusers in shallow water 

      Adams, E. Eric; Trowbridge, John Howard (MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-04)
      Submerged diffusers are commonly used to dilute condenser cooling water from coastal power plants. A staged diffuser, in which the diffuser centerline is perpendicular to shore and the nozzles are direc- ted essentially ...

    • Stability and mixing of submerged turbulent jets at low Reynolds numbers 

      Ungate, Christopher David; Harleman, Donald R. F.; Jirka, Gerhard Hermann (MIT Energy Lab, 1975)
      An experimental study is made of the variation of volume and centerline dilution as a function of Reynolds number in non- buoyant and buoyant round jets discharged vertically from a submerged nozzle. The jet Reynolds ...
