Turbulent Boundary Layer Height Scales in Hurricanes
Kishore Ram Sathia, Marco Giovanni Giometto
Boundary layer processes drive the air-sea exchange of momentum, heat, and moisture that powers and shapes hurricanes. The height of the boundary layer is a critical parameter in e…

On the structure and dynamics of secondary flows over multi-column roughness in channel flow
A. S. Sathe, W. Anderson, M. Calaf +1
Secondary flows induced by spanwise heterogeneous surface roughness play a crucial role in determining engineering-relevant metrics such as surface drag, convective heat transfer,…

An analytical solution for horizontal velocity profiles in the hurricane boundary layer
Kishore R. Sathia, Marco G. Giometto
Theoretical analyses of the hurricane boundary layer have traditionally relied on slab models, which provide a limited description of wind profiles. Literature on height-resolving…
