A Simple Description of the Turbulent Transport in a Stratified Shear Flow as Applied to the Description of Thermohydrodynamics of Inland Water Bodies

A way to parameterize the turbulent Prandtl number is proposed based on the model of turbulent transport in a stratified fluid, which allows for the two-sided transformation of the kinetic and potential energies of turbulent fluctuations. Numerical experiments aimed at studying the influence of the proposed parameterization on characteristic features of thermohydrodynamic processes in inland water bodies have been carried out.
