Fountains in industry and nature

GR Hunt, HC Burridge - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2015 - annualreviews.org
Turbulent fountains arise when a localized flow, free to entrain fluid from its surroundings, is
opposed by a buoyancy force. This review cites numerous examples to highlight their wide …
