 Neutral buoyancy-flux mode of a pure plume

A constant surviving buoyancy flux sets the amplitudes of a pure plume: $Q\propto F^{1/3}$ and $M\propto F^{2/3}$. Relative-flux perturbations have the neutral ratio $(\delta Q/Q,\delta M/M,\delta F/F)\propto (1,2,3)$. This is the zero-eigenvalue limit of growing mode of power-law plume similarity; nonzero endpoint stratification can still create cumulative logarithmic flux loss.
