Abstract
We propose a theoretical estimate of the temperature elevation in a liquid pool, locally heated on its free surface, assumed flat, when the fluid motion is turbulent. Our treatment follows the theoretical work of Shraiman and Siggia (Phys. Rev. A 42, 3650 (1990)) in Rayleigh-Bénard convection. The temperature elevation is proportional to the incident power to the 2/3 power.
