Av. Konyukhov et al., NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF FLOW INITIATED IN THE ATMOSPHERE BY A TURBULENT SURFACE THERMAL, High temperature, 33(5), 1995, pp. 720-724
The dynamics of a turbulent surface thermal are numerically investigat
ed. An algorithm is developed, which enables one to employ the k-epsil
on model to investigate the dynamics of surface thermals in a wide ran
ge of determining parameters. The special features are treated, which
distinguish the flow of gas in a surface thermal from that in an above
-ground one.
