Manning's empirical formula in conjunction with Strickler's scaling is widely used to predict the bulk velocity (V) from the hydraulic radius (Rh), the roughness size (r), and the slope of the energy grade line (S) in uniform channel flows at high bulk Rey ...
We propose a theoretical approach to derive amplitude equations governing the weakly nonlinear evolution of non-normal dynamical systems, when they experience transient growth or respond to harmonic forcing. This approach reconciles the non-modal nature of ...
Gravity currents are buoyancy-driven flows having a significant impact on the environment and human life. They can be observed in a vast range of natural and anthropogenic scenarios, such as seawater and freshwater, the atmosphere, or industrial processes. ...
The atmospheric layer adjacent to the earth's surface is of crucial importance for weather models due to the exchange of energy between the surface and the atmosphere. This exchange is dependent on the various surface properties and influences the state of ...
The Al-Salam Pump Station will be constructed in the framework of Jeddah Storm water Masterplan (JSWM) in Saudi Arabia. The station discharges the incoming flow from the Al-Salam storm tunnel to the Red Sea. Its structure includes a circular deep wet well ...
This paper establishes a mean-field equation set and an energy theorem to provide a theoretical basis in view of the development of self-consistent, physics-based turbulent transport models for mean-field transport codes. A rigorous averaging procedure ide ...
The eddy-covariance method provides the most direct estimates for fluxes between ecosystems and the atmosphere. However, dispersive fluxes can occur in the presence of secondary circulations, which can inherently not be captured by such single-tower measur ...
Determining the height of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is of crucial importance as it is a key parameter in air-quality modelling and weather forecasting. Continuous remote sensing measurements allow to estimate this parameter based on temperature, h ...
Reliable estimates of air-water exchange of momentum, heat, and gas are vital for understanding boundary layer dynamics and for developing accurate global and regional climate and weather forecasting models. Spatiotemporal variability of physical processes ...
In polar regions, where the boundary layer is often stably stratified, atmospheric models produce large biases depending on the boundary-layer parametrizations and the parametrization of the exchange of energy at the surface. This model intercomparison foc ...
