The Cessation of Continuous Turbulence as Precursor of the Very Stable Nocturnal Boundary Layer
The mechanism behind the collapse of turbulence in the evening as a precursor to the onset of the very stable boundary layer is investigated. To this end a cooled, pressure-driven flow is investigated by means of a local similarity model. Simulations reveal a temporary collapse of turbulence whenever the surface heat extraction, expressed in its nondimensional form h/L, exceeds a critical value...
متن کاملBoundary-layer Decoupling Affects on Tornadoes
The North American low-level jet is known to have substantial impacts on the climatology of central and eastern regions of the United States. However, the development of the low-level jet may also have an impact on the low-level shear, which could rapidly alter an environment toward becoming more favorable for producing tornadoes. This study investigates this mechanism’s contribution to enhanci...
متن کاملCASES - 99 : A Comprehensive Investigation of the Stable Nocturnal Boundary Layer
APRIL 2002 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | ASES-99 considers four scientific questions primarily related to the stable, nocturnal boundary layer, including the transition periods. The CASES-99 field program attempted to identify the sources and to quantify the physical characteristics of atmospheric phenomena occurring from the formative stages of the NBL1 until its eventual breakup during th...
متن کاملViscous boundary-layer effects in nearly inviscid cylindrical flows
The dynamics of flow inside a cylinder at high Reynolds number are considered. A study of the viscous boundary layer near the walls is performed. In the case where there is no pressure gradient, a result is proven demonstrating that a regular perturbation expansion holds for the solution, even when a small discontinuity exists in the wall data. In addition, the characteristic decay rate of the ...
متن کاملTurbulent flux events in a nearly neutral atmospheric boundary layer.
We propose here a novel method of analysing turbulent momentum flux signals. The data for the analysis come from a nearly neutral atmospheric boundary layer and are taken at a height of 4m above ground corresponding to 1.1 x 10(5) wall units, within the log layer for the mean velocity. The method of analysis involves examining the instantaneous flux profiles that exceed a given threshold, for w...
