The onset of convection driven by buoyancy caused by various modes of transient heat conduction: Part II. The sizes of plumes

A theory of formation of transient thermals or plumes generated by unsteady-state heat conduction is proposed. Rising or falling mushroom-shaped plumes formed during transient heating or cooling, respectively, originate from the extending thermal boundary layers. The sizes of the hemispherical caps...
