Turbulence Statistics from Spectral Line Observations
Turbulence is a crucial component of dynamics of astrophysical fluids dynamics, including those of ISM, clusters of galaxies and circumstellar regions. Doppler shifted spectral lines provide a unique source of information on turbulent velocities. We discuss Velocity-Channel Analysis (VCA) and its offspring Velocity Coordinate Spectrum (VCS) that are based on the analytical description of the sp...
متن کاملNumerical Prediction of the Wind Flow over Real Hilly Terrain
In the present paper, a numerical prediction of the wind flow in a neutrally-stratified atmosphere over real hilly terrain is presented. For the solutions of the NavierStokes equations which are the governing equations of a microscale atmospheric flow, a numerical model based on the finite-volume formulation in a boundary-fitted coordinate system and the SIMPLEC pressure-correction algorithm is...
متن کاملRoute Choice in Hilly Terrain
The orienteering route choice problem involves finding the fastest route between two given points, with running speed determined by various properties of the terrain. In this study we consider only the effect of climbing or descent on running speed. If a runner’s pace p (the reciprocal of running speed) varies linearly with gradient m, the straight-line route is always fastest. This may be a re...
متن کاملRecent progress in astrophysical plasma turbulence from solar wind observations
This paper summarises some of the recent progress that has been made in understanding astrophysical plasma turbulence in the solar wind, from in situ spacecraft observations. At large scales, where the turbulence is predominantly Alfvénic, measurements of critical balance, residual energy and three-dimensional structure are discussed, along with comparison to recent models of strong Alfvénic tu...
متن کاملTerrain effects on characteristics of surface wind and wind turbine wakes
An experimental study was conducted to investigate the interferences of wind turbines sited over hilly terrains in order to elucidate the underlying physics to explore/optimize design of wind turbines sitting over complex terrains for higher power yield and better durability. The experiments were conducted in an atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel with wind turbines sited over two-dimensiona...
