Abstract:
A two-dimensional stationary linear model of flows arising in a stably (neutral) stratified medium over a thermally inhomogeneous flat inclined surface is analyzed analytically. At the lower boundary, temperature deviations are specified, which depend harmonically on the horizontal coordinate transverse to the slope. Explicit analytical solutions are obtained, which make it possible to analyze the regularities of emerging density flows. It is shown that these flows can qualitatively differ depending on the ratio of the slope angle of the lower boundary and the analog of the Rayleigh number, the expression for which includes the horizontal scale of the thermal inhomogeneity region as a spatial scale. An appropriate criterion for distinguishing these currents is established.
Keywords:
