The Effect of Thermal Stratification and Evaporation on Geostrophic Drag Coefficient in the Atmospheric Boundary layer
The turbulent energy equation, together with a modified mixing length, is adopted to close the governing equations in the turbulent planetary boundary layer under stratification conditions. The system of governing equations is decoupled by introducing a stratification parameter, Q. Numerical integration of the system, in general, is outlined and should be easily implemented. Results for the mom...
متن کاملA Wall Law for Two-Phase Turbulent Boundary Layers
Abstract—The presence of bubbles in the boundary layer introduces corrections into the log law, which must be taken into account. In this work, a logarithmic wall law was presented for bubbly two phase flows. The wall law presented in this work was based on the postulation of additional turbulent viscosity associated with bubble wakes in the boundary layer. The presented wall law contained empi...
متن کاملAtmospheric boundary layers in storms: advanced theory and modelling applications
Turbulent planetary boundary layers (PBLs) control the exchange processes between the atmosphere and the ocean/land. The key problems of PBL physics are to determine the PBL height, the momentum, energy and matter fluxes at the surface and the mean wind and scalar profiles throughout the layer in a range of regimes from stable and neutral to convective. Until present, the PBLs typical of stormy...
متن کاملScaling structure of the velocity statistics in atmospheric boundary layers
The statistical objects characterizing turbulence in real turbulent flows differ from those of the ideal homogeneous isotropic model. They contain contributions from various two- and three-dimensional aspects, and from the superposition of inhomogeneous and anisotropic contributions. We employ the recently introduced decomposition of statistical tensor objects into irreducible representations o...
متن کاملWind-tunnel simulation of stably stratified atmospheric boundary layers
Results are presented of simulations of a stable boundary layer of moderate surface condition and zero overlying inversion strength. The layer depth is matched to model scale by artificially thickening the boundary layer by means of flow generators (‘spires’) at the working-section inlet. A non-uniform inlet temperature profile is essential in order to preclude the upper part of the layer retai...
