Waterjet throw calculation or estimation

[Bill71]

Hi!
I need to calculate or estimate the waterjet throw length from the fire hose nozzle. Known data, pressure, flow, nozzle diameter and the fluid is seawater.

Any empirical results or formulae would be much appreciated, or any related link.

Thanks in advance
