Abstract
A simple model is derived to explain the form ofthe relationship between the normalized entrainment rate of quiescent fluid into a turbulent mixed layer and the bulk Richardson number. The model is based on a parameterization ofthe turbulent kinetic energy budget and includes the effect of molecular diffusivity through the gravity work term. Results show good agreement with available data.
