Abstract: Jet- mixing is widely used in various processing units for purposes as homogenization of physical properties of liquids in tanks, to ensure proper heat and mass transfer in various operations, prevention of stratification, and prevention of deposition of suspended particles. As Flocculation process is an important part of surface water treatment, use of jet in flocculation is an effective solution so as to remove turbidity in an efficient way. Most of the researchers have focused on experimental estimation and developed various mixing correlations, considering the effect of parameters like jet velocity, jet configuration, tank geometry. Recently, use of CFD simulation to predict parameters as well as flow patterns precisely that validates the experiments is on the rise. This review focuses on the study of various parameters used in experimental and CFD work on jet mixing and general conclusions have been drawn concerning the various parameters.

Keywords: Flocculation, jet mixing, parameters, correlations.
