Abstract: Idealized numerical experiments using a large-eddy simulation (LES) model are performed to examine the fundamental dynamical processes associated with the interactions between buoyant plumes and density currents. The aim ...

Abstract: he flow around cylindrical open-top chambers (OTCs) with aspect ratios (i.e., height-to-diameter ratios) much less than unity is investigated using a large-eddy simulation (LES) model. The solid structures are represented ...

Abstract: new spatial filter is proposed that exploits a spectral gap in power between the convective scale and the system (?vortex?) scale during tropical cyclone (TC) genesis simulations. Using this spatial separation, this study ...

Abstract: Ocean wind vectors from the SeaWinds scatterometer aboard the Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) satellite and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) imagery are used to develop an objective technique that ...
