A model of the atmospheric convective boundary layer (CBL) is realized in the thermally stratified wind tunnel of the Institute of Hydrology and Water Resources, University of Karlsruhe. Further experimental results from this model are presented. The wind tunnel with a test section 10 m long, 1.5 m wide, and 1.5 m high allows one to generate a quasi-stationary, horizontally evolving CBL, charac...

The assessment of turbulence model performance in predicting ow elds that are directly relevant to industrial needs has become increasingly important. In aerodynamics , many problems exist for which the performance of some turbulence models is ambiguous at best and incorrect at worst. The application of many diierent turbulence models to a particular problem is a lengthy process that can lead t...

Resistive drift-wave turbulence is studied by high-resolution numerical simulation in the limit of small viscosity (high Reynolds numbers), such that the adiabaticity parameter V is the only relevant parameter. Energy spectra exhibit a maximum at some wave-number kc, and a power law behavior for k> k+ Statistics in this range are non-Gaussian indicating strong intermittency, but are perfectly G...

in this paper, inflow turbulence effects on the flow wake parameters around a naca0012 airfoil at zero incidence angle and reynolds number of 38,700 were investigated. various turbulence promoter networks were used to achieve turbulence intensity of 5% and 6%. experiments have been conducted for three different turbulence intensities in which mean velocity parameters, turbulence intensity, freq...

recognizing of river flow pattern, deposition and erosion areas in meanders is highly important. despite the limitations of the physical models in laboratory investigation of flow pattern in meanders, mathematical models can be helpful. in this research, rsm and les turbulence models have been compared on sharp river bend of a laboratory flume using fluent software. the laboratory flume is a sh...

A full scale physical model of a thin slab caster with a four-hole design submerged entry nozzle (SEN) was constructed. On the basis of the dimensionless Reynolds and Froude similitude criteria, the fluid flow in a full-scale model is similar to that of the actual system and, hence, the data obtained from the water model can be applied to the actual system. In order to determine the optimum ope...

We investigate modification of Kolmogorov wave turbulence in QCD calculating gluon spectra as functions of time in the presence of a low energy source which feeds in energy density in the infrared region at a time-dependent rate. Considering the picture of saturation constraints as has been constructed in the “bottom-up” thermalization approach we revisit that picture for RHIC center-mass energ...
