Abstract :The heated surface jet discharged into a bay which is connected to a larger body of water through a strait may experience bifurcation in the bay and stratification in the strait. The combined effects of bifurcation and stratification may lead to a substantially greater rise in temperature than the rise expected in case of unrestricted receiving body of water. In this study, the behavior of heated effluents discharged into bays with a restricted access to a large body of water is scrutinized experimentally by the help of a scaled physical model.Dimensional analysis leads to a new dimensionless parameter Ar, area restriction parameter, on which the difference between the excess temperatures at the inlet of the strait for restricted and free receiving mediums, Δinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ΔT/ΔT 0 ); is shown to be strongly dependent.Keywords : Heated effluents, surface jets, excess heat
