Unsteady Jet Mixers at Hanford
• Retrieving from storage • Treating & vitrifying waste
– Underground, 1 - 2ft risers – Closed “black” cells
– Limited access for equipment – No maintenance for 40 years
– 2 - 300hp mixer pumps (baseline)
z u(z)
High Reynolds number far field
z Constant spread angle δ(z) = θz
z Peak & ave. velocity decrease u(z) = c ju jd j / z u A
d
z Thrust/force is constant F(z) = Fj
z Flow rate increases (entrainment) q(z) / q j ~ z / d
z Energy decreases e(z) / e j = d / z
z Constant Reynolds number Reδ (z) = Red

Turbulent Jets, cont.
Same results for impinging & attaching jets
z Different constants
z Wall shear stress τ w (r) ~ ρu 2j (d j / r) 2
True independent of nozzle cross-sectional area
Approximately true in near-far-field transition z / d j , r / d j = 15 − 30
Allows one to approximately obtain flow fields, fluxes, forces, etc
Similar relations for dense jets

Jets as mixers
Axial flow impeller: ND ~ uj
z dj/T <<1 (careful about blindly applying agitator results)
z Power, thrust, and flow numbers = ~ 1
Much higher power than agitators for same thrust
Lower flow, higher head
Highly directional
z point them where you want them
z Must design for thrust reaction
Return placement
z Can be important

Unsteady effects on mixing/mobilization
Would like to utilize steady mixing knowledge base
z Can we find simple corrections for unsteady effects or are we
dealing with fundamentally new phenomena?
Must consider relative time scales
z Flow establishment/mixing times compared with pulse time
z Duty cycle
What happens when the jet is off?
z Other time scales
Erosion rates
Settling rates
Etc.
Two new parameters are introduced
