Large eddy simulation of stably stratified turbulence

Large-eddy Simulation of the Stably Stratified

In this work, we study the characteristics of a stably stratified atmospheric boundary layer using large-eddy simulation (LES). In order to simulate the stable planetary boundary layer, we developed a modified version of the two-part subgrid-scale model of Sullivan et al. This improved version of the model is used to simulate a highly cooled yet fairly windy stable boundary layer with a surface...

Large-Eddy Simulation of Stably Stratified Atmospheric Boundary Layer Turbulence: A Scale-Dependent Dynamic Modeling Approach

A new tuning-free subgrid-scale model, termed locally averaged scale-dependent dynamic (LASDD) model, is developed and implemented in large-eddy simulations (LES) of stable boundary layers. The new model dynamically computes the Smagorinsky coefficient and the subgrid-scale Prandtl number based on the local dynamics of the resolved velocity and temperature fields. Overall, the agreement between...

Large-eddy simulation of rotating and stratified turbulence

Mathematical regularization of the nonlinear terms in the Navier-Stokes equations is found to provide a systematic approach to deriving subgrid closures for numerical simulations of turbulent flow. By construction, these subgrid closures imply existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to the corresponding modeled system of equations. We will consider the large-eddy interpretation of two such...
