Model of Formation and Development of Spring Thermal Bar

A mathematical model simulating the thermo- and hydrodynamic processes near the thermal bar in the period of lake warming in spring is considered. A closed system of Reynolds type equations is constructed based on the Navier-Stokes nonlinear system of equations using the Boussinesq approximation and a special technique for isolating large-scale structures in turbulent medium. The turbulent viscosity coefficient is evaluated in the course of problem solution. The results of calculations are shown to agree well with field observation data.
