Large-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...
متن کاملExperimental and Numerical Investigations of Stably Statified Atmospheric Flows
Statically stable atmospheric flows are characterized by weak and highly anisotropic turbulence, gravity waves, instabilities, and meandering motions that are not observed in neutral or unstable flows. These features complicate both modeling and measurements in stable boundary layers. Nevertheless, these flows remain of considerable importance for a variety of problems including nighttime flow ...
متن کاملOn the Magnitude and Variability of Subgrid-Scale Eddy-Diffusion Coefficients in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
Eddy-viscosity closures for large eddy simulations (LES) of atmospheric boundary layer dynamics include a parameter (Smagorinsky constant cs), which depends upon physical parameters, such as distance to the ground, atmospheric stability, and strain. A field study [Horizontal Arrays Turbulence Study (HATS)] specifically designed to measure turbulence quantities of interest in LES, such as the pa...
متن کاملA Combined Local and Nonlocal Closure Model for the Atmospheric Boundary Layer. Part I: Model Description and Testing
The modeling of the atmospheric boundary layer during convective conditions has long been a major source of uncertainty in the numerical modeling of meteorological conditions and air quality. Much of the difficulty stems from the large range of turbulent scales that are effective in the convective boundary layer (CBL). Both small-scale turbulence that is subgrid in most mesoscale grid models an...
متن کاملSNOHATS: Stratified atmospheric turbulence over snow surfaces
Stably stratified turbulence presents particular challenges both from an experimental and a modeling perspective. The damping of the turbulence due to flow stratification and the presence of features such as gravity waves, and Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities complicate the the application of turbulence similarity theories and the formulation of turbulence models. From an LES perspective, the mai...
