Submerged Jet Mixers

[orourkmw]

Shooting a plume of water through the air is a pretty well understood science by the firefighting community and by the people who design the fountains at Las Vegas casinos. Does anyone know how to determine the "jet throw" of a stream that is submerged....in other words, how far the jet will travel, depending on the flow rate, pressure drop, nozzle size, angle of discharge, characteristics of product being discharged, etc?

My company uses CFD combined with real-world testing to obtain correction factors.

Our application is mechanical mixers that produce very tight, long-running plumes within storage tanks.
