| Abstract | An investigation was made of the surface disturbance produced in
a body of water by the impingement of a submerged axisymmetric jet.
The direction of the jet was oriented perpendicular to the watersurface.
Variations in disturbance heights were investigated as a
function of nozzle size, position beneath the water surface and velocity
of the water jet at the nozzle. Experimental data was analysed in
terms of an analytical model based on known diffusion characteristics
of a fluid jet in an infinite medium. Experimental results show that
this analytical model is valid for cavity heights less than the depth
of the nozzle beloxj the water surface. For greater cavity heights a
modification of the previous model was required in order to describe
mathematically the cavity formation. An empirical equation was obtained which provides a basis for predicting the cavity heights for
all conditions where the ratio of the cavity height to the distance of
water surface above the nozzle was less than 11.
