| Abstract: | It is shown experimentally that an originally circular jet with a temperature greater than 4°C transforms into a thin sheet when propagating in water at a temperature of about 0°C and sinks rather than ascends. At large times, a peculiar fine structure of the hydrophysical fields is detected. This is due to the difference between the molecular diffusivities of heat and dissolved salts, as well as the breakdown of large-scale to small-scale vortices.__________Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Academii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, 2005, pp. 39–47.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Bukreev. |
