Experimental investigation of the effect of jet inclination on bifurcation of laminar jets

Submerged buoyant jets show interesting phenomenon like bifurcation under specific flow conditions. A detailed quantitative experimental analysis of this hydrodynamic instability highlighting relative importance of associated parameters is addressed in this work. Regular water and brine solutions have been used as the experimental fluids and flow diagnosis has been performed using Particle Image Velocimetry and shadowgraphy. It is found that …
