if the return water is a narrow nozzle, it will not move the surface adequately in a shear wave/wall.
That's the reason for the sealed plate under the surface of the water... to splash and divert the incurrent stream into a laminar plane of water. A spray bar could be a workable compromise here... although I've never liked the (poor) serviceability of spray bars.
