Popis: The determination of air entrainment in free falling water jets is still a topic subject to large uncertainties that eddy-viscosity model. The RANS turbulence model did not generate water separation from the water surface. However, the LES model was able to reproduce the strong dynamic interaction between the air-water phases and come from the strong interaction among independent parameters. Despite many findings on this topic about the determination of the water jet breakup length, a mathematical generalization has not been found yet and the hydraulic physical modelling of air-water faces limitations because of scale effects. As a consequence, a spray mode of disintegration of an experimental test was used to validate the results using computational fluid dynamics by means of two different turbulent approaches: 1) Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes RANS method, with the standard k-e model, and 2) Large Eddy Simulation LES, with the one-equationthe breakup processes, but at an early stage.
