Abstract
The turbulent structure of inclined wall plume is investigated experimentally. The velocity distributions are measured by the laser doppler anemometer. In order to obtain the density difference, the saline water was sampled by the siphon and then the concentration of salinity is measured by the conductivity meter. Thus, the mean flow properties of the inclined wall plume are obtained. The turbulent flow properties such as Reynolds stresses, kinetic energy of turbulence, viscous dissipation rate and eddy viscosity, are also obtained. These experimental results are compared with the similarity solutions obtained coupling with the κ-e turbulence model. The agreement of experimental results and numerical calculations are fairly well except for the distribution of the viscous dissipation rate. It is concluded that the κ-e turbulence model can explain well mean flow properties and turbulent structure of inclined wall plumes.
