Abstract: The mathematical model of turbulent buoyant recirculating flows is applied in thermohy-draulics and an algebraic stress model is proposed to simulate nonisotropic turbulent buoyant recirculating flows in a shallow water channel. It can be shown that the buoyancy force is able to reduce the turbulence in vertical direction and the heat conduction in the thermocline layer is nonisotropic. At the same time, the stacked-up and separated arrangement of intake-outlet for thermal power stations have been predicted by such numerical models. The results are in good agreement with experiments. [1,2, 3]
