Equilibrium Shape and Position of a Neutral Heave Fireball.
Abstract
The difference between heave and fireball motions is determined on the basis of whether or not heated fluid elements retain their relative vertical position as they rise. In the heave regime, fluid elements do not circulate in the conventional sense; these circumstances allow a great simplification, enabling us to determine the equilibrium position of fluid elements solely in terms of the initial energy distribution in an otherwise isothermal atmosphere. Results indicate that, at late time, lateral spreading dominates the vertical rise.
