The Convective Mechanism in Clear Air
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is a theoretical study of an isolated plume in still air. Previous work, based on similarity concepts to give the mixing rates, is shown to be inadequate, and a new hypothesis is proposed which appears to lead to ...
The Effects of Compressibility and Dissipation Heating on Boundary Layer Plumes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines in detail some of the assumptions previously used by the author in modeling the convective boundary layer. It has been customary to mathematically model atmospheric convection with plumes and blobs in ...
A NEW ASPECT OF COALESCENCE THEORY
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The process of growth by coalescence is examined from the viewpoint of a discrete rather than a continuous accretion process. It is concluded that, for drops beginning growth at twice the volume of their neighbors, random ...
A Plume Theory for the Convective Field in Clear Air
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper the equations for a field of convective plumes are non-dimensionalized. These were derived in an earlier paper by formulating a model which included turbulence as an independent property with a specific kinetic ...
