Langmuir turbulence in suspended kelp farms
Tong Bo, James C. McWilliams, Chao Yan +1
This study investigates the influence of suspended kelp farms on ocean mixed layer hydrodynamics in the presence of currents and waves. We use the large eddy simulation method, whe…
On the departure from Monin-Obukhov surface similarity and transition to the convective mixed layer
Michael Heisel, Marcelo Chamecki
Large-eddy simulations are used to evaluate mean profile similarity in the convective boundary layer (CBL). Particular care is taken regarding the grid sensitivity of the profiles…
Evidence of mixed scaling for mean profile similarity in the stable atmospheric surface layer
Michael Heisel, Marcelo Chamecki
A new mixed scaling parameter is proposed for similarity in the stable atmospheric surface layer, where is the height, is the Obukhov length, and is the…
Turbulence organization and mean profile shapes in the stably stratified boundary layer: zones of uniform momentum and air temperature
Michael Heisel, Peter P Sullivan, Gabriel G Katul +1
A persistent spatial organization of eddies is identified in the lowest portion of the stably-stratified planetary boundary layer. The analysis uses flow realizations from publishe…
Self-similar geometries within the inertial subrange of scales in boundary layer turbulence
Michael Heisel, Charitha M. de Silva, Gabriel G. Katul +1
The inertial subrange of turbulent scales is commonly reflected by a power law signature in ensemble statistics such as the energy spectrum and structure functions - both in theory…
Overlapping boundary layers in coastal oceans
Chao Yan, James C. McWilliams, Marcelo Chamecki
Boundary layer turbulence in coastal regions differs from that in deep ocean because of bottom interactions. In this paper, we focus on the merging of surface and bottom boundary l…
Generation of attached Langmuir circulations by a suspended macroalgal farm
Chao Yan, James C. McWilliams, Marcelo Chamecki
In this study, we focus on Langmuir turbulence in the deep ocean with the presence of a large macroalgal farm using a Large Eddy Simulation method. The wave-current interactions ar…
A Population Balance Model for Large Eddy Simulation of Polydisperse Droplet Evolution
Aditya Aiyer, Di Yang, Marcelo Chamecki +1
In the context of many applications of turbulent multi-phase flows, knowledge of the dispersed phase size distribution and its evolution is critical to predicting important macrosc…
The transport and deposition of heavy particles in complex terrain: insights from an Eulerian model for large eddy simulation
Scott T. Salesky, Marco G. Giometto, Marcelo Chamecki +2
The transport and deposition of heavy particles over complex surface topography by turbulent fluid flow is an important problem in a number of disciplines, including sediment and s…
High-frequency measurements of aeolian saltation flux: Field-based methodology and applications
Raleigh L. Martin, Jasper F. Kok, Chris H. Hugenholtz +3
Aeolian transport of sand and dust is driven by turbulent winds that fluctuate over a broad range of temporal and spatial scales. However, commonly used aeolian transport models do…
