Description:

A model of the thermal bar circulation in a large lake, of small aspect ratio is presented. Unlike models that use prescribed values of the eddy viscosity and diffusivity, this model utilizes a second order turbulence-closure scheme to compute flow variables and turbulence properties as part of the overall solution.
