The jet (pulse) model of mushroom-like flow formation

A barotropic model on the -plane is used to consider the problem of mushroom-like flow formation. The method of contour dynamics is applied to investigate the evolution of a bounded jet flow whose linear axi is identified with a rigid wall. The quasi-stationary form of the flow's head part and the velocity of its propagation have been found. The stability of the stationary solution has been studied.Translated by V. Puchkin.
