Mixing phenomena, induced by a jet issued diagonally upward into a two-layer densitystratified fluid in a cylindrical tank, are numerically simulated. The upper and lower fluids are water and a NaCl aqueous solution, respectively. The mass concentration of the NaCl-water solution is 0.02. The lower fluid is issued from a nozzle mounted on the tank bottom. The angle of the nozzle to the tank bottom is 60 degree, and the Reynolds number defined by the jet velocity and the nozzle diameter ranges from 475 to 3089. The simulation highlights the jet behavior relative to the density interface and the resultant mixing phenomena.
