Kinematic plume fluxes
= Kinematic plume fluxes
Dividing the <mass flux>, <momentum flux>, and density-weighted <buoyancy flux> by ambient <mass density> gives the kinematic fluxes $q=\pi b^2V$, $m=\pi b^2V^2$, and $f=\pi b^2Vg(\rho_0-\rho)/\rho_0$. This convention makes dimensional <similarity solutions> independent of the arbitrary ambient density unit.
