Forced-plume virtual-origin geometry
ID: forced-plume-virtual-origin-geometry
For a horizontal forced plume, the plume virtual origin lies downstream and below the physical source on the far-field vertical asymptote. The origin shift in centreline arc length is distinct from its vertical height: if and , the virtual height is . Both geometric shifts scale with the jet length at fixed entrainment coefficient.
