Abstract
Initial process of mixing and intrusion with a Bubble Plume is examined. The process is analyzed by dividing the flow into three parts; Bubble Plume region, entrainment from the upper layer, and intrusion into the stratified environment. In the Bubble Plume Region, a single plume model is utilized. For the entrainment from the upper layer, empirical formulae of liquid plumes and bubble plumes are applied. Assuming the profiles of the intruding front and velocity, the governing equations of volume and momentum are successfully integrated. Good agreements are obtained between the computed results and the experimental ones.
