Stably stratified canopy flow in complex terrain
Stably stratified canopy flow in complex terrain has been considered a difficult condition for measuring net ecosystem–atmosphere exchanges of carbon, water vapor, and energy. A long-standing advection error in eddy-flux measurements is caused by stably stratified canopy flow. Such a condition with strong thermal gradient and less turbulent air is also difficult for modeling. To understand the ...
متن کاملOn stably stratified homogeneous shear flows subjected to rotation
Theoretical aspects of modeling stratified turbulent flows subjected to rotation are considered. The structural equilibrium behavior of second-moment closure (SMC) models is explored, guided by bifurcation analysis. It is shown that the ability of the models to predict a critical gradient Richardson number in the absence of system rotation Ri g ≈ 0.25 is largely dependent on the model for the p...
متن کاملA differential rotation driven dynamo in a stably stratified star
We present numerical simulations of a self-sustaining magnetic field in a differentially rotating non-convective stellar interior. A weak initial field is wound up by the differential rotation; the resulting azimuthal field becomes unstable and produces a new meridional field component, which is then wound up anew, thus completing the ‘dynamo loop’. This effect is observed both with and without...
متن کاملA Numerical Study of Turbulent Stably-Stratified Plane Couette Flow
Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of stably-stratified, turbulent plane Couette flow are currently being performed on the XC-4000. The friction Reynolds number is kept approximately constant, Reτ 540 and the Richardson number Riw varies between 0 and 0.1. The flow is divided into two regions: the region close to the wall and the core region. The region close to the wall presents strong velocit...
متن کاملBuoyancy generated turbulence in stably stratified flow with shear
The energy evolution in buoyancy-generated turbulence subjected to shear depends on the gradient Richardson number Ri and the stratification number St, which is a ratio of the time scale of the initial buoyancy fluctuations to the time scale of the mean stratification. During an initial period, the flow state evolves as in the unsheared case. After this period, shear generates fluctuating veloc...
