Notes:
An inverse distance scaling has been imposed on the velocity field for steady axisymmetric convection of an incompressible fluid with spatially variable density over a flat plate. The model is closed by explicitly specifying the solenoidal term of the vorticity equation as a function of the polar angle. Results indicate that axial jets can form in association with updrafts but not with downdrafts. On the other hand, wall jets can form in downdrafts but not in updrafts. In addition, the theory predicts a finite upper limit to the magnitude of the solenoidal field in updrafts beyond which solutions do not exist.
