Linking a Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Model with Three-Dimensional Eulerian Wind Field Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A slightly simplified form of Thomson?s Lagrangian stochastic model (LSM) is presented for dispersion applications in three-dimensional (3D) flow fields. It is found that the Lagrangian velocity of a particle in 3D ...
The Rise of Moist, Buoyant Plumes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The governing equations for a moist, buoyant plume in a cross wind are presented. A comparison of the energy equations for saturated and unsaturated plumes, the subject of some previous controversy, shows that the form of ...
The Use of Large-Eddy Simulations in Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Lagrangian dispersion model driven by velocity fields from large-eddy simulations (LESs) is presented for passive particle dispersion in the planetary boundary layer (PBL). In this combined LES?Lagrangian stochastic model ...
Relative Dispersion of Ice Crystals in Seeded Cumuli
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Relative dispersion of ice crystals was measured in 30 seeded cumulus clouds. A quasi-instantaneous, vertical area source of ice was generated by releasing dry-ice pellets from an airplane. The ice concentration distribution ...
Turbulent Winds and Temperature Fronts in Large-Eddy Simulations of the Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he nighttime high-latitude stably stratified atmospheric boundary layer (SBL) is computationally simulated using high?Reynolds number large-eddy simulation on meshes varying from 2003 to 10243 over 9 physical hours for ...
Atmospheric Stability Influences on Coupled Boundary Layer and Canopy Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: arge-eddy simulation of atmospheric boundary layers interacting with a coupled and resolved plant canopy reveals the influence of atmospheric stability variations from neutral to free convection on canopy turbulence. The ...
Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Modeling of the Fumigation Process Using Large-Eddy Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Lagrangian particle dispersion model (LPDM) is used to study fumigation of pollutants in and above the entrainment zone into a growing convective boundary layer. Probability density functions of particle location with ...
Marine boundary layers above heterogeneous SST: Across-front winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulent flow in a weakly convective marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) driven by geostrophic winds Ug = 10ms−1 and heterogeneous sea surface temperature (SST) is examined using fine mesh large eddy simulation (LES). ...
Marine Boundary Layers above Heterogeneous SST: Alongfront Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
AERMOD: A Dispersion Model for Industrial Source Applications. Part II: Model Performance against 17 Field Study Databases
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The performance of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulatory Model (AERMOD) Improvement Committee?s applied air dispersion model against 17 field study databases ...
