Abstract
The behavior of two plumes ejected into a thin water tank is investigated experimentally. As the time elapses, the plume axes deflect towards each other. Time evolution of this two-dimensional, dual forced plume is found to be similar to that of a two-dimensional, single plume ejected near a vertical wall. The symmetric plane of the two plumes in the former case plays the role of the vertical wall. The time required for the dual plume to attain a quasi-steady state is shorter than that for the single plume. The deflection angles of the plume axes are smaller for the dual plume, and the plume water remains near the free water surface in a quasi-steady state. Water circulation in a triangular region surrounded by the free water surface, the side of the plume and the symmetric plane (or the vertical wall for the single plume case) may account for this difference; the circulation is much more pronounced in the single plume case.
