This paper is concerned with the applications of water jet impact in air to energy dissipation. The scattered jet flow impinges into the downstream water plunge pool, which greatly improves the inflow condition of the submerged jet in the pool and make it diffuse very quickly. The model experiments were conducted, which showed that a large jet flow could be scattered by a small one through impacting. The minimum discharge ratio for flow dispersion was studied. The unequal jet impact in air for energy dissipation was brought forward firstly in this paper as a new type of energy dissipator.
