Improvements to the dynamic wake meandering model by incorporating the turbulent Schmidt number

Fernando Porté Agel, Peter Andreas Brugger, Corey Dean Markfort

Predictions of the dynamic wake meandering model (DWMM) were compared to flow measurements of a scanning Doppler lidar mounted on the nacelle of a utility-scale wind turbine. We observed that the wake meandering strength of the DWMM agrees better with the ...

The hunt for the Karman 'constant' revisited

Peter Monkewitz

The log law of the wall, joining the inner, near-wall mean velocity profile (MVP) in wall-bounded turbulent flows to the outer region, has been a permanent fixture of turbulence research for over hundred years, but there is still no general agreement on th ...

Steady Three-Dimensional Rotational Flows: An Approach Via Two Stream Functions And Nash-Moser Iteration

Boris Buffoni

We consider the stationary flow of an inviscid and incompressible fluid of constant density in the region D = (0, L) x R-2. We are concerned with flows that are periodic in the second and third variables and that have prescribed flux through each point of ...

A Modulated-Gradient Parametrization for the Large-Eddy Simulation of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model

Fernando Porté Agel, Sina Khani

The performance of the modulated-gradient subgrid-scale (SGS) model is investigated using large-eddy simulation (LES) of the neutral atmospheric boundary layer within the weather research and forecasting model. Since the model includes a finite-difference ...

Large-eddy simulation of flow and scalar dispersion in rural-to-urban transition regions

Fernando Porté Agel, Wai Chi Cheng

Large-eddy simulations (LES) are performed to simulate the flow and scalar transport in rural-to-urban transition regions. The LES framework is first validated with wind-tunnel experimental data of scalar dispersion within and above a staggered array of cu ...

Dynamics of the cavitation precessing vortex rope for Francis turbines at part load operating conditions

Arthur Tristan Favrel

The massive penetration of the existing electrical grid by renewable energy sources requires a continuous extension of the operating range of hydroelectric powerplants, which can lead to cavitation flow instabilities inducing undesirable mechanical vibrati ...

Particle diffusion in non-equilibrium bedload transport simulations

Christophe Ancey

This paper examines the importance of particle diffusion relative to advection in bed load transport. Particle diffusion is not included in existing approaches to bedload transport. Based on recent advances in the probabilistic theory of sediment transport ...

An octree-based adaptive semi-Lagrangian free surface flow solver

Viljami Henrikki Laurmaa

A numerical method based on an adaptive octree space discretization for the simulation of 3D free-surface fluid flows is proposed. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved with a time-splitting scheme, which decouples advection from diffusion/incompressibili ...

The motion of a deforming capsule through a corner

Lailai Zhu

A three-dimensional deformable capsule convected through a square duct with a corner is studied via numerical simulations. We develop an accelerated boundary integral implementation adapted to general geometries and boundary conditions. A global spectral m ...

Measured and Estimated Water Vapor Advection in the Atmospheric Surface Layer

Marc Parlange, Eric Richard Pardyjak, Valentin Simeonov, Chad Higgins, Martin Froidevaux

The flux of water vapor due to advection is measured using high-resolution Raman lidar that was orientated horizontally across a land-lake transition. At the same time, a full surface energy balance is performed to assess the impact of scalar advection on ...

The dam-break problem for concentrated suspensions of neutrally buoyant particles

Christophe Ancey, Nicolas Andreini, Gaël Epely Chauvin

This paper addresses the dam-break problem for particle suspensions, that is, the flow of a finite volume of suspension released suddenly down an inclined flume. We were concerned with concentrated suspensions made up of neutrally-buoyant non-colloidal par ...

Relative importance of advective heat transport and boundary layer decoupling in the melt dynamics of a patchy snow cover

Michael Lehning

For a patchy snow cover the advective heat transport and the near-surface boundary layer decoupling, which have an opposite effect on sensible heat transport onto the snow surface, are both expected to increase in magnitude. The main aim of this study is t ...

Generalized Flows Satisfying Spatial Boundary Conditions

Boris Buffoni

In a region D in R-2 or R-3, the classical Euler equation for the regular motion of an inviscid and incompressible fluid of constant density is given by partial derivative(t)v + (v . del(x))v = -del(xP), div(x)v = 0, where v(t, x) is the velocity of the pa ...
