Airflow Across a Persistent Cold Air Pool in a Basin

[QUOTE="skyfridge, post: 5467957, member: 593399"] Also, the dynamic pressure of the advection across the aperture would be q=1/2*ρ*t^2 so the advection would be at a lower pressure than the volume in the basin. What does that do to the volume of air in the basin? I'm picturing a vertical pipe filled with water with an inverted temperature gradient and water moving across the top of the pipe. Since the temperature decreases and thus the density increases from top to bottom in the vertical pipe, I might assume that would lessen the mixing. Does the volume of air act like a surface, preventing or minimizing the advection from circulating into the basin? The flow across the horizontal surface would probably be laminar to transitional, but I'm guessing. How would that affect the mixing? A screen atop the basin would probably make it turbulent. Would the advection across the uncovered (or basin with a recessed screen) basin also be laminar to transitional? How does that affect the mixing? [/QUOTE]
