AbstractPartially treated wastewater is often discharged into coastal waters through an outfall diffuser fitted with clustered ports on risers. On each riser the effluent is discharged through two to eight ports arranged circumferentially, in the form of a rosette-shaped buoyant jet group. The near field mixing of such a jet group in a tidal flow is determined by the merging and interaction of coflowing, oblique-flowing, cross-flowing, and counterflowing jets. Despite numerous studies, a general predictive method for such complex jet groups has not been reported; ocean outfall design is often based on comprehensive physical model experiments. The mixing of merging nonbuoyant and buoyant jets issuing from a rosette outfall riser into an ambient current is studied experimentally by using the laser-induced fluorescence technique. Detailed cross-sectional measurements of the scalar concentration field downstream of the bent-over jets are made. The trajectories of multiple and individual jets discharging at various angles are measured. For typical outfall designs, the dynamic interaction of adjacent jets is found to be negligible. The average dilution of the jet group can be predicted by accounting for jet merging and plume overlapping. Theoretical predictions using the Lagrangian VISJET model are in excellent agreement with the experimental data and also results of previous studies in a stratified crossflow. The model correctly predicts the changes in near field dilution as a function of the number of nozzles on a riser, or the number of risers on a diffuser, and helps to resolve observed anomalies in previous studies. © 2011 American Society of Civil Engineers.
