ShareSummary
Thermosolutal convection induced by freezing a layer of seawater from above is studied in a series of numerical experiments. The model equations take into account the dependence of the density and the temperature of maximum density on salt content, the possible presence of penetrative convection and supercooling effects. For a specific parameter range, a flow pattern consisting of a strongly convecting layer floating between two relatively stable layers is found.
