The near-neutral atmospheric surface layer: turbulence and non-stationarity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The neutrally stable atmospheric surface layer is used as a physical model of a very high Reynolds number, canonical turbulent boundary layer. Challenges and limitations with this model are addressed in detail, including the inherent thermal stratification, surface roughness and non-stationarity of the atmosphere. Concurrent hot-wire and sonic anemometry data acquired in Utah's western desert provide insight to Reynolds number trends in the axial velocity statistics and spectra.

Simulation of entrainment near a density stratified layer: Laboratory experiment and LIDAR observation
In this paper a simple qualitative model of the growth of a mixed layer adjacent to a uniform layer with a stably stratified layer is presented. The depth variations of mixed layer can be estimated from direct measurements. The Entrainment of a stably stratified layer into a turbulent mixed layer in a confined region was studied in laboratory for different Richardson numbers. The internal waves...
متن کاملبررسی آلودگی هوای شهر تهران به روش وارونگی بحرانی هافتر
In issues related to air pollution, the thickness of the boundary layer is known as the depth of the mixed layer because the pollution on the ground surface is mixed in this entire layer through turbulence processes. In most cases, the boundary of the area is clearly visible on big industrial cities. The depth of the mixed layer has an important effect in the concentration of air pollution whic...
متن کاملInteractions within the turbulent boundary layer at high Reynolds number
Simultaneous streamwise velocity measurements across the vertical direction obtained in the atmospheric surface layer (Reτ 5 × 10) under near thermally neutral conditions are used to outline and quantify interactions between the scales of turbulence, from the very-large-scale motions to the dissipative scales. Results from conditioned spectra, joint probability density functions and conditional...
متن کاملEstimating Heat Sources and Fluxes in Thermally Stratified Canopy Flows Using Higher-order Closure Models
Over the past two decades, several inverse methods have been proposed to estimate scalar source and sink strengths from measured mean concentration profiles within the canopy volume (hereafter termed the ‘inverse’ problem). These inverse methods commonly assumed neutral atmospheric stability conditions for the entire canopy volume. For non-neutral conditions, atmospheric stability corrections i...
متن کاملLarge-eddy simulation of turbulent flow over an array of wall-mounted cubes submerged in an emulated atmospheric boundary-layer
Turbulent flow over an array of wall-mounted cubic obstacles has been numerically investigated using large-eddy simulation. The simulations have been performed using high-performance computations with local cluster systems. The array of cubes are fully submerged in a simulated deep rough-wall atmospheric boundary-layer with high turbulence intensity characteristics of environmental turbulent fl...
