Layer averaged Richard’s equation with lateral flow
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper a formulation for layer averaged sub-surface moisture transport, that models the lateral flow, is developed using the Richard’s equation. This formulation is consistent with the approach currently adopted in contemporary models used in land– atmosphere interaction studies. Explicit expressions are derived for layer averaged lateral transport contribution from diffusion, gravity, dispersion, and convergence due to land–surface curvature. It is argued that lateral contribution can be a significant component of the total soil-moisture flux. Ignoring these contributions can result in significant model error leading to inaccurate prediction or unrealistic calibration of parameters that compensate for these errors. 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

Numerical Simulation of Separation Bubble on Elliptic Cylinders Using Three-equation k-? Turbulence Model
Occurrence of laminar separation bubbles on solid walls of an elliptic cylinder has been simulated using a recently developed transitional model for boundary layer flows. Computational method is based on the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the eddy-viscosity concept. Transitional model tries to simulate streamwise fluctuations, induced by freestream turbulen...
متن کاملStudy of Parameters Affecting Separation Bubble Size in High Speed Flows using k-ω Turbulence Model
Shock waves generated at different parts of vehicle interact with the boundary layer over the surface at high Mach flows. The adverse pressure gradient across strong shock wave causes the flow to separate and peak loads are generated at separation and reattachment points. The size of separation bubble in the shock boundary layer interaction flows depends on various parameters. Reynolds-averaged...
