Abstract
A method of mixing two fluids together includes introducing a stream of first fluid through a nozzle into a volume of second fluid at an accelerating rate over a time period of at least 0.1 seconds. The acceleration of the first fluid forms a vortex of first fluid having a tail of first fluid within the volume of second fluid. The stream of first fluid is then decelerated over a time period of at least 0.1 seconds which produces rapid mixing of the second fluid in the tail of first fluid.
