| Abstract: | Pollard et al. (1973) proposed a closure hypothesis for the entrainment process in the stress-mixed layer of a stratified fluid. Some laboratory experiments suitable for testing the hypothesis were carried out by Kantha et al. (1977) and by Kato and Phillips (1969). In the early period of each experiment, before side-wall friction becomes important, these experiments support the closure hypothesis, with a critical Froude number close to 1, perhaps F = 1.2 ± 0.2. |
