Turbulent convection driven by surface cooling in shallow water

We present the results of large-eddy simulations (LES) of turbulent thermal convection generated by surface cooling in a finite-depth stably stratified horizontal layer with an isothermal bottom surface. The flow is a simplified model of turbulent convection occurring in the warm shallow ocean durin...
