The present work shows how thick boundary layers can be produced in a short wind tunnel with a view to simulate atmospheric flows. Several types of thickening devices are analysed. The experimental ...

Jarred and Samantha’s programs both involve the special turbulence structure created by the impacts of impermeable surfaces on the structure of energy-dominant wall-bounded turbulence eddies. It is in ...

Exchange Processes between the Surface and the Atmospheric Boundary Layer The exchange of energy, gases, and aerosol particles between the surface (vegetation, urban landscape) is mostly driven by ...

The layers are turbulent, with highly energetic and rapidly varying motions that are hard to predict. The first part of the course covers basic elements of turbulence theory: Reynolds decompositions, ...

In order to make use of the ever-improving microprocessor performance, the applications must be modified to take advantage of the parallelism of today's microprocessors. One such application that ...

The first part of the course covers basic elements of turbulence theory: Reynolds decompositions, turbulent cascades and fluxes, and stability. The second part focuses on the atmospheric boundary ...

The boundary between the ocean and the atmosphere, where the air and sea interact, is known as the sea surface microlayer. Understanding how nutrients, pollutants and organic matter are exchanged ...

Abstract: Kolmogorov’s hypothesis for a universal power law over the inertial subrange of the turbulence kinetic energy spectrum is one of the most well-known concepts in fluid physics. Obukhov and ...

The recent tragedy involving a Singapore Airlines flight is bringing new attention to clear air turbulence and has people concerned again about flying.
