For a triangular-profile line plume with centreline density ρ, speed W, half-width b, ambient density ρ0​, and inward relative edge speed e, volume, mass and momentum conservation give
(2b)t​+(bW)z​=2e,[b(ρ+ρ0​)]t​+[bW(ρ0​+2ρ)/3]z​=2ρ0​e,
(1)
[bW(ρ0​+2ρ)/3]t​+[bW2(ρ0​+3ρ)/6]z​=gb(ρ0​−ρ).
(2)
Subtracting mass conservation from ρ0​ times volume conservation also gives buoyancy conservation. Batchelor entrainment supplies a closure for e.
