It seems strange to note that the mass carried by the jet increases with distance. g y j
How can that be?
Answer: The jet entrains ambient fluid, and that it is why it grows in size.
We can defined the entrainment rate:

What about the concentration profile of a pollutant carried by the jet?
Looks like another
classical bell curve!

Putting the shape with the magnitude at the center, we have the concentration
distribution along as well as across the jet:
Cross-jet distance
measured from centerline outward
Downstream distance along the jet
starting at x =2.5 d at the nozzle
Zone of excess concentration
Suppose that there is a concentration value c
*
not to be exceeded,
and suppose it is exceeded at the discharge point (nozzle).
We can ask the question:
How extensive is the region down the jet where the concentration exceeds c
*
?
To answer this question, we set the concentration c equal to c
*
and consider the
resulting relation between downstream distance x and radial distance r.

Effective diffusivity in a turbulent jet
Now that we know the rate of concentration dilution downstream of a turbulent jet,
one may ask: What is the equivalent diffusivity?
To answer this question, we write the budget equation for the concentration:
