the concentration of pollutants around tall buildings can be influenced by many factors such as down wind effects, waves, airflow due to free convection of heat transfer, building height etc. the main objective of this research was the investigation of the variation of pollutants concentration at different heights around tall buildings. research was carried out measuring parameters such as co o...

the purpose of this paper is to investigate the egm method and the behavior of a solid particle suspended in a twodimensional rectangular cavity due to conjugate natural convection. a thermal lattice boltzmann bgk model is implemented to simulate the two dimensional natural convection and the particle phase was modeled using the lagrangian–lagrangian approach where the solid particles are treat...

The Teff location of Pre-Main Sequence (PMS) evolutionary tracks depends on the treatment of over-adiabaticity (D’Antona & Mazzitelli 1994, 1998). Since the convection penetrates into the stellar atmosphere, also the treatment of convection in the modeling of stellar atmospheres will affect the location of the Hayashi tracks. In this paper we present new non-grey PMS tracks for Teff > 4000 K. W...

Forecasts of the initiation of deep moist convection are important in a variety of meteorological applications: flash flood, severe storm, and quantitative precipitation forecasting. Determining where and when convection occurs affects the aircraft and agriculture industries as well as the general public. Recently, the research community has placed a strong emphasis on factors that determine th...

Past studies have identified a variety of pathways by which carbon monoxide (CO) may be transported from the surface to the tropical upper troposphere (UT); however, the relative roles that these transport pathways play in determining the distribution and seasonality of CO in the tropical UT remain unclear. We have developed a method to automate the identification of two pathways (“local convec...

A convection scheme for climate model is developed based on Tiedtke’s (Mon Weather Rev 117:1779–1800, 1989) bulk mass flux framework and is evaluated with observational data and cloud resolving model simulation data. The main differences between the present parameterization and Tiedtke’s parameterization are the convection trigger, fractional entrainment and detrainment rate formulations, and c...

This paper explores the response of the tropical hydrologic cycle to surface warming through the lens of large-domain cloud-system-resolving model experiments run in a radiative–convective equilibrium framework. Simulations are run for 55 days and are driven with fixed insolation and constant sea surface temparatures (SSTs) of 298 K, 300 K, and 302 K. In each experiment, convection organizes in...

[1] Using line‐of‐sight measurements of horizontal plasma drift from the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) located in the Northern and Southern hemispheres over a period extending from 1998 to 2002, statistical models of the high‐latitude convection electric field are derived for various ranges of interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) magnitude and orientation and for several ranges of...

Lagged Maximum Covariance Analysis (LMCA) is used to examine the intraseasonal variability of zonal wind, sea surface temperature (SST) and outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) in the Eastern Tropical Paci c Ocean during Northern Hemisphere summertime. Results show the eastward propagation of the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) signal at both 850 mb and 200 mb. The 850 mb zonal wind shows a jet-li...

Computational models are developed to predict the natural convection heat transfer and buoyancy for a Montgolfiere under conditions relevant to the Titan atmosphere. Idealized single and double-walled balloon geometries are simulated using algorithms suitable for both laminar and (averaged) turbulent convection. Steady-state performance results are compared to existing heat transfer coefficient...
