Abstract
The discharge of a stratified fluid (with a stable linear density variation at infinity) through a horizontal slot at the end of a channel has been experimentally investigated. The experiments show that when the densimetric Froude number is less than 0.28, the flow pattern is divided into two horizontal regions; an upper, essentially a stagnant region, and a lower region in which the entire discharge is concentrated. The specific results obtained are useful for the solution of many engineering problems involving stratified flows.
