Entrainment of a thermal with or without buoyancy reversal impinging on a stratified interface

Laboratory experiments of a thermal with and without buoyancy reversal impinging on a stratified interface are presented. A thermal is created by releasing a small volume of buoyant fluid into a stratified environment composed of two layers of different densities. A thin interface separates the lowe...
