Probability density functions in the cloud-top mixing layer
The cloud-top mixing layer is an idealized configuration often employed in the literature to study local aspects (over length scales of the order of 10m) of the top of stratocumulus-topped mixed layers. Latent heat effects are further investigated here by means of direct numerical simulations, discussing the probability density functions of the horizontal and vertical velocities, as well as the...
متن کاملDiverging probability-density functions for flat-top solitary waves.
We investigate the statistics of flat-top solitary wave parameters in the presence of weak multiplicative dissipative disorder. We consider first propagation of solitary waves of the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (CQNLSE) in the presence of disorder in the cubic nonlinear gain. We show by a perturbative analytic calculation and by Monte Carlo simulations that the probability-dens...
متن کاملProbability density functions of turbulent velocity and temperature in the atmospheric surface layer
The probability density functions (pdf’s) for the longitudinal and vertical velocities, temperature, their derivatives, and momentum and sensible heat fluxes were measured in the atmospheric surface layer for a wide range of atmospheric stability conditions. The measured pdf’s for both the velocity and the temperature fluctuations are near-Gaussian and consistent with corresponding laboratory m...
متن کاملProbability Density Functions for Velocity in the Convective Boundary Layer, and Implied Trajectory Models
When a probability density function (pdf) is to be formed on the basis of incomplete information, the “maximum missing information” (mmi) pdf (Jaynes. Phys. Reo. 106, 62M30, 1957) is theoretically preferable. We compare the performance of Lagrangian stochastic (LS) models of vertical dispersion in the convective boundary layer. satisfying Thomson’s (J. Fluid Mech. 180,529-556, 1987) well-mixed ...
متن کاملConditional Probability Density Functions of Concentrations for Mixing-Controlled Reactive Transport in Heterogeneous Aquifers
This paper presents an approach conducive to an evaluation of the probability density function (pdf) of spatio-temporal distributions of concentrations of reactive solutes (and associated reaction rates) evolving in a randomly heterogeneous aquifer. Most existing approaches to solute transport in heterogeneous media focus on providing expressions for space–time moments of concentrations. In gen...
