Logarithmic scaling of higher-order temperature moments in the atmospheric surface layer
Kelly Y. Huang, Matt K. Fu, Clayton P. Byers +2
A generalized logarithmic law for high-order moments of passive scalars is proposed for turbulent boundary layers. This law is analogous to the generalized log law that has been pr…
The speed of breaking waves controls sea surface drag
Alex Ayet, Bertrand Chapron, Peter Sutherland +1
The coupling between wind-waves and atmospheric surface layer turbulence sets surface drag. This coupling is however usually represented through a roughness length. Originally sugg…
Anisotropy and multifractal analysis of turbulent velocity and temperature in the roughness sublayer of a forested canopy
Soumak Bhattacharjee, Rahul Pandit, Timo Vesala +3
Anisotropy and multifractality in velocity and temperature time series sampled at multiple heights in the roughness sublayer (RSL) over a boreal mixed-coniferous forest are reporte…
Fluctuation-theorem and extended thermodynamics of turbulence
Amilcare Porporato, Milad Hooshyar, Andrew D Bragg +1
Turbulent flows are out-of-equilibrium because the energy supply at large scales and its dissipation by viscosity at small scales create a net transfer of energy among all scales.…
Taylor Dispersion in Osmotically Driven Laminar Flow in Phloem
M. Nakad, T. Witelski, J. C. Domec +2
Sucrose is among the main products of photosynthesis that are deemed necessary for plant growth and survival. It is produced in the mesophyll cells of leaves and translocated to di…
