Arrested cubic buoyancy profile
ID: arrested-cubic-buoyancy-profile
An upward volume flux and a downward turbulent buoyancy transport balance in a steady reactor. Matching below gives . Integrating yields the cubic profile above the front. If downward source buoyancy flux is , then . The corresponding eddy diffusivity is . All these prefactors use the same area and mixing-length normalization; an actual cross-sectional area replaces the denominator in by .
