Large-Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Sheared Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of large-eddy simulators of free and sheared convective flow between moving flat plates is presented. Results for free convection are compared with laboratory data. The ratio of friction velocity to the convective ...
On the Numerical Computation of Two-Dimensional Convective Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical calculations of two-dimensional convection between flat plates at high Rayleigh numbers are presented. They do not show the large cell aspect ratios observed by Rothermel and Agee in their numerical calculations ...
Meteorological Data Needs for Modeling Air Quality Uncertainties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A probabilistic framework for incorporating uncertainty in air quality models is described. The quantitative dependence of the uncertainty in calculated air quality concentrations on the uncertainty in the input meteorological ...
Analysis of Concentration Fluctuations from Lidar Observations of Atmospheric Plumes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of nearly instantaneous vertical cross sections of power-plant plume concentrations obtained by both airborne and ground-based lidar systems for the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Plume Model Validation ...
A Numerical Study of Breaking Kelvin-Helmholtz Billows using a Reynolds-Stress Turbulence Closure Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional numerical study of breaking Kelvin-Helmholtz billows is presented. The turbulent breaking process is modeled using second-order closure methods to describe the small-wale turbulence, while the large-scale ...
Fractal Representation of Turbulent Dispersing Plumes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fractal analysis techniques have been applied to the concentration fields from large-eddy simulations of plume dispersion in a turbulent boundary layer. Fractal dimensions between 1.3 and 1.35 are obtained from area-perimeter ...
Representation of Velocity Gradient Effects in a Gaussian Puff Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Gaussian puff model framework is extended to provide a description of velocity shear distortion effects. An efficient splitting-merging algorithm is presented so that a maximum puff size can be specified for a calculation. ...
A Numerical Study of the Development of Claud-Street Spacing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two-dimensional numerical computations of the developing boundary layer with a positive surface heat flux are presented. The model incorporates moisture phase-change effects; we are particularly interested in the cloud-street ...
