Abstract

When the flow rate from a port discharging buoyant fluid into a denser environment is less than a critical value, a counter flow of dense fluid will become established through the port. Experiments were conducted at near prototype scales which confirmed that the critical rate of discharge could be expressed in terms of a densimetric Froude number based on the port diameter and the buoyancy of the discharge. The value of the critical Froude number was found to depend primarily on the port orientation and shape.
