Exercise 6

Calculate the Rayleigh number for a ten-meter-thick freshwater aquifer that has Kf = 10 m d1, which is overlain by seawater (e.g., following an overtopping event due to a storm surge). Hint: Look up the definition of the freshwater hydraulic conductivity in the Section titled Horizontal Flow. Assume that \frac{\mu _f}{\mu }=1
