An analysis of the non-convecting solar pond

The thermal behaviour of the non-convecting solar pond is examined by numerical solution of the dynamic equations, incorporating detailed representation of the losses from the surface and using hourly meteorological data for a site in southern England. Temperature histories for the first few year...
