چکیده
Large eddy simulation (LES) of the Martian convective boundary layer (CBL) with a Mars-adapted version Weather Research and Forecasting model is used to examine impact aerosol dust radiative-dynamical feedbacks on turbulent mixing. The LES validated against spacecraft observations prior modeling. To study redistribution by coherent dynamical structures within CBL, two radiatively active distribution scenarios are used: one in which remains fixed another freely transported CBL motions. In scenario, increasing atmospheric loading shades surface from sunlight weakens convection. However, competing effect emerges free resulting lateral concentration updrafts. enhancement radiative heating upwelling plumes both generates horizontal thermal contrasts increases buoyancy production, jointly enhancing We define inhomogeneity index (DII) quantify how much concentrated plumes. If DII large enough, destabilizing can exceed stabilizing shading such that depth optical depth. Thus, under certain combinations total dust, positive feedback exists between depth, vigor mixing, and—to extent lifting controlled mixing—the further surface.

Large-eddy Simulations of the Effects of Hilly Terrain on the Convective Boundary Layer
Large-eddy simulations of the convective boundary layer are compared over hilly versus flat surfaces. Moderate values for the height and horizontal spacing of the hills were selected. Thermallydirect hill-valley circulations are induced by the uneven terrain, accounting for a significant fraction of the resolved energy in the boundary-layer eddies. The probability of upward eddy motion reaches ...
متن کاملBulk Models of the Sheared Convective Boundary Layer: Evaluation through Large Eddy Simulations
A set of first-order model (FOM) equations, describing the sheared convective boundary layer (CBL) evolution, is derived. The model output is compared with predictions of the zero-order bulk model (ZOM) for the same CBL type. Large eddy simulation (LES) data are employed to test both models. The results show an advantage of the FOM over the ZOM in the prediction of entrainment, but in many CBL ...

The reported study examines the dynamics of entrainment and its effects on the evolution of the dry atmospheric convective boundary layer (CBL) when wind shear is present. The sheared CBL can be studied by means of direct measurements in the atmosphere, laboratory studies, and numerical techniques. The advantages and disadvantages of each technique are discussed in the present paper, which also...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Boundary Layer Flow and Heat Transfer of a Dusty Fluid Towards a Stretching Sheet with Convective Boundary Conditions
The steady three-dimensional boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a dusty fluid towards a stretching sheet with convective boundary conditions is investigated by using similarity solution approach. The free stream along z-direction impinges on the stretching sheet to produce a flow with different velocity components. The governing equations are reduced into ordinary differential equations b...
متن کامل5.6 Numerical Models of Entrainment into Sheared Convective Boundary Layers Evaluated through Large Eddy Simulations
Atmospheric convective boundary layer (CBL) entrainment is the downward mixing of free atmospheric air into the CBL as the CBL grows. Primarily, the CBL entrainment is driven by the buoyancy production of turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) due to heating of the lower surface or cooling at the CBL top. The effects of shear-generated turbulence in the CBL are secondary. However, cases of a purely bu...
