Significant environmental effects from the use of marine outfall discharges have led to
increased efforts by both regulatory bodies and research groups to minimize the negative …

High discharge salinity of reject brine from desalination plants necessitates the use of
submerged jets which induce mixing with ambient water and lead to reduction in …

This study addresses the disposal of hypersaline brines from desalination plants through
multiport diffusers into seas and oceans. Experiments are reported on multiport diffusers with …

Coastal desalination plants have increased in number and size over the past decades due
to the water crisis in the world. During the process of desalination, in addition to fresh water …

This paper presents the numerical results for inclined dense effluent discharges into a
shallow receiving water body. Two jet discharge angles relative to the horizontal (30° and …

In this paper, the effect of channel geometry on the characteristics of surface dense jets was
experimentally investigated. Their geometric properties for various densimetric Froude …

Inclined dense jets are commonly used to mitigate the environmental impacts of brine
discharge in coastal desalination plants. Numerous studies have been performed to …

Experiments were conducted in a tank containing motionless water for studying mixing
characteristics of inclined turbulent dense jets. The densimetric Froude number varied …

A numerical investigation of near-field brine discharge dynamics is reported for the Gold
Coast Desalination Plant offshore inclined multiport brine diffuser. Quasi-steady …

Employing inclined negatively buoyant jets is one of the most advantageous means to
discharge brine or waste in coastal environments. However, numerical prediction of mixing …
