| Popis: | Design criteria for laboratory water-analogs of clear-air penetrative convection in the atmosphere are described. Consideration is given to the range of factors relevant to modelling both turbulent penetrative convection and the dispersion of buoyant point-source plumes within the convective boundary layer. Scaling arguments based on mixed-layer and plume scaling show that at typical laboratory scales, saline convection can satisfy the requirements for modelling buoyant plume dispersion under strongly convective (light wind) conditions better than heated water tanks or wind tunnels. |
