Slope Flows Produced by Bulk Heat Release

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

The Prandtl model of slope flows (convection in a stratified medium near an inclined surface) has been generalized to the case of the presence of bulk heat sources/sinks oriented in parallel with the slope. Such sources exist, for example, when the atmosphere is filled with an aerosol exerting its influence on the radiation air balance. The properties of the analytical solutions found are nontrivial in some respects. For example, the intensity of stationary slope flows may increase with decrease in the inclination angle of the lower boundary. Numerical estimates show the possibility of generation of noticeable atmospheric slope flows in the presence of an aerosol that influences the radiation balance.
