Turbulent Line Plumes and Filling Boxes
… plume? Second, how does real two-dimensional filling box behaviour differ from the commonly used Baines & Turner (1969) filling box model? Third, what are the changes to filling box behaviour when the plume source is not centred in the filling box? The entrainment coefficient is a crucial …

Dynamics of buoyant releases in confined spaces.
… Previous work has generally been based on the 'filling-box' model (Baines & Turner 1969). This model, however, may only be applied when the source has little or no initial momentum, is in a container with a height/width aspect ratio less than unity and does not interact with the side boundaries. …

Turbulent convection from an area source in a confined space
… a container, referred to herein as the \textit{filling-box} problem. En route to describing the filling behaviour of a lazy plume, the dynamics of pure ($\Gamma_0 = 1$) plumes whose source radius is much smaller than the height and width of the container are first examined. An experimental …

Multiphase Fountains
… bubbles accumulating at the surface, forming a filling-box flow. This observation encouraged a subsequent investigation of filling-box flows of bubbles and particles in confined reservoirs. In chapters 4 and 5 we consider turbulent fountains in confined environments. In chapter 4 we investigate …

Box models of thermohaline circulation
… and transient circulation within an idealised filling-box flow. In chapters 2 and 3 we present an experimental and theoretical study of boundary mixing. We investigate the transport of buoyancy and tracer through a closed basin with buoyancy fluxes supplied at the top and bottom boundaries and, …

The effect of double diffusion on the dynamics of turbulent plumes and jets
… methods. The first method is based on the filling-box technique introduced by Baines (1983), which allows the plume volume flux to be measured directly. The second method uses PIV and LIF to obtain simultaneous two-dimensional measurements of the velocity and scalar fields within the flow. …

Mixing and circulation of meltwater outflow plumes in polar fjords
… the plume is at the end wall, in which case no filling-box region develops and the gravity current remains significantly thinner and more concentrated. A physical model of the process is derived and tested with quantitative experimental results. Comments on the limitations and applications of …
