COMBINATION OF AIR-FLOWS INITIATED IN THE ATMOSPHERE BY A GROUP OF SURFACE THERMALS

The problem on flotation in the atmosphere of a group of large-scale s urface thermals is solved numerically with the aid of the complete sys tem of Navier-Stokes equations for compressible heat-conducting gas. T he discretization of the input system is done according to an explicit four-step difference scheme of splitting with respect to physical pro cesses. Thermodynamic processes are studied, as well as the processes of vortex formation, combination of groups of individual vortexes in a monovortex, and transformation of circulation flows into a jet flow.
