Large-Eddy Simulation and Single-Column Modeling of Thermally Stratified Wind Turbine Arrays for Fully Developed, Stationary Atmospheric Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ffects of atmospheric thermal stratification on the asymptotic behavior of very large wind farms are studied using large-eddy simulations (LES) and a single-column model for vertical distributions of horizontally averaged ...
The Local Structure of Atmospheric Turbulence and Its Effect on the Smagorinsky Model for Large Eddy Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Phenomena such as large-scale shear, buoyancy, and the proximity to the ground surface significantly affect interactions among scales in atmospheric boundary layer turbulent flows. Hence, these phenomena impact parameters ...

On the Magnitude and Variability of Subgrid-Scale Eddy-Diffusion Coefficients in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: 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 ...
Field Experimental Study of Dynamic Smagorinsky Models in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis of dynamic Smagorinsky models is performed based on the Horizontal Array Turbulence Study (HATS) dataset. In the experiment, two vertically separated horizontal arrays of 14 three-dimensional sonic anemometers ...
On the Parameterization of Surface Roughness at Regional Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A parameterization for surface roughness and blending height at regional scales, under neutral atmospheric stability, is studied and tested. The analysis is based on a suite of large-eddy simulations (LES) over surfaces ...
The Effect of Filter Dimension on the Subgrid-Scale Stress, Heat Flux, and Tensor Alignments in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In field experiments designed to study subgrid-scale parameterizations for large eddy simulation, the flow field is often measured and then filtered in two-dimensional planes. This two-dimensional filtering serves as a ...
A Priori Field Study of the Subgrid-Scale Heat Fluxes and Dissipation in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Field measurements are carried out to study statistical properties of the subgrid-scale (SGS) heat fluxes and SGS dissipation of temperature variance in the atmospheric surface layer, and to evaluate the ability of several ...
Impact of Surface Flux Formulations and Geostrophic Forcing on Large-Eddy Simulations of Diurnal Atmospheric Boundary Layer Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of surface flux boundary conditions and geostrophic forcing on multiday evolution of flow in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) was assessed using large-eddy simulations (LES). The LES investigations included ...
Subgrid-Scale Dissipation in the Atmospheric Surface Layer: Effects of Stability and Filter Dimension
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Field measurements are undertaken with the specific purpose of addressing open issues in subgrid-scale (SGS) modeling of turbulence for large eddy simulation. Wind velocity and temperature signals are obtained using a ...
