Critical inclination for absolute/convective instability transition in inverted falling films

Nicolas Igor Jacques Kofman

Liquid films flowing down the underside of inclined plates are subject to the interaction between the hydrodynamic and the Rayleigh-Taylor (R-T) instabilities causing a patterned and wavy topology at the free surface. The R-T instability results from the d ...

Wake flow in a wind farm during a diurnal cycle

Fernando Porté Agel, Mahdi Abkar, Ahmad Sharifi

The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) undergoes substantial changes in its structure and dynamics in the course of a day due to the transient nature of forcing factors such as the surface fluxes of heat and momentum. The non-stationary nature of the mean wi ...

Influence of atmospheric stability on wind-turbine wakes: A large-eddy simulation study

Fernando Porté Agel, Mahdi Abkar

In this study, large-eddy simulation is combined with a turbine model to investigate the influence of atmospheric thermal stability on wind-turbine wakes. The simulation results show that atmospheric stability has a significant effect on the spatial distri ...

Particle-size and -density segregation in granular free-surface flows

Christophe Ancey

When a mixture of particles, which differ in both their size and their density, avalanches downslope, the grains can either segregate into layers or remain mixed, dependent on the balance between particle-size and particle-density segregation. In this pape ...

Atmospheric Flow Development and Associated Changes in Turbulent Sensible Heat Flux over a Patchy Mountain Snow Cover

Michael Lehning

In this study, the small-scale boundary layer dynamics and the energy balance over a fractional snow cover are numerically investigated. The atmospheric boundary layer flows over a patchy snow cover were calculated with an atmospheric model (Advanced Regio ...
