Numerical modeling of buoyant plumes in a turbulent, stratified atmosphere

A widely applicable computational model of buoyant, bent-over plumes in realistic atmospheres is constructed. To do this, the two-dimensional, time-dependent fluid mechanics equations are numerically integrated, while a number of important physical approximations serve to keep the approach...
