Fixed-energy two-layer entrainment law
ID: fixed-energy-two-layer-entrainment-law
For potential energy of two-layer entrainment with constant , the fixed-energy turbulent mixed layer assumption gives . If and the interfacial power model for entrainment applies with fixed coefficients, integration gives the displayed depth law with . The relation applies only before the layer reaches the tank bottom. Its interfacial Richardson number stays constant for fixed interface thickness, whereas it decreases like in the constant-speed entrainment model.
