It has been found that air entrainment occurs when the average jet velocity at the plunging point reaches a certain value. This velocity is called the critical velocity of air entrainment. The analysis of studies in this field shows that the process of jet interaction with the liquid surface is complex, while the theoretical approaches to its description are insufficient. The conditions at which air entrainment begins are related to the behavior and shape of the meniscus. The mechanism of meniscus formation is based on the complicated kinematic structure of motion in the vicinity of the point of interaction between the jet and the liquid in the quiescent state. Experiments and observations show that the meniscus behavior is closely related to the initial conditions of air entrainment. Calculating the critical velocity of air entrainment Ue, analysis of the meniscus shape, and use of the limit equilibrium condition were used to derive a new criterion relationship for the air entrainment conditions of turbulent jets flowing from long smooth nozzles. The results of calculations are compared with experimental data.
