TURBULENT CONVECTION IN A STRATIFIED
BINARY MIXTURE AT A VERTICAL SURFACE
L. Kh. Ingel'

UDC 532.529.2

An analytical solution is found for the nonlinear integral 
model of development of turbulent convection in a stratified binary 
mixture at a vertical surface. The character of convection can greatly 
differ from the case of a one-component liquid. In particular, the 
sign of the temperature response of the medium to heating can differ 
from the "intuitively expected" one, i.e., the arising ascending convective 
jet can be colder and not hotter than the background.
