Abstract

A mixed-layer model has been formulated and used to simulate vertical temperature and salinity profiles in a salt gradient solar pond. The development of a wind-mixing algorithm is discussed for inclusion in the model. The algorithm is derived by considering the turbulent kinetic energy budget for the upper convecting zone and the sensitivity of the model to changes in the parameter values is investigated. Laboratory tests are planned to refine the model by finding coefficient values for the entrainment relation which would be applicable for highly stratified double-diffusive systems.
