Abstract
Experimental measurements of entrainment by turbulent fountains from circular sources in quiescent uniform environments are presented. Our results span almost four orders of magnitude in the source Froude number (0.004⩽Fr0⩽250.004⩽Fr0⩽25) and thereby encompass the entrainment across all classes of fountain behaviour identified to date. We identify scalings for the entrained volume flux QEQE, in terms of Fr0Fr0 and the source volume flux Q0Q0, within a number of distinct Froude-number bands corresponding to each class of fountain. Additionally we identify a distinct class of new behaviour, as yet unreported, for Fr0≲0.1Fr0≲0.1.
