Boussinesq top-hat plume in a stratified ambient
ID: boussinesq-top-hat-plume-in-a-stratified-ambient
With common factors of removed, steady kinematic fluxes satisfy , and . The Batchelor entrainment hypothesis supplies volume, the integrated buoyancy force supplies momentum, and the environmental mass density gradient reduces buoyancy flux. This uses the Boussinesq approximation.
