Submerged jets at different Reynolds numbers (Re) with random perturbations added to the inlet velocity profile are simulated numerically by solving the Navier–Stokes equations. The effects of Re on flow behavior and the length of laminar jet region are studied. A natural gas jet flow emitting form the sea bottom is also simulated using the URANS and VOF methods, and forces acting on an object placed within the multiphase jet are evaluated.
