Turbulence and Heat exchange in the Near-Surface Boundary Layer over Patchy Snow

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 ...

Snowfall deposition in mountainous terrain: a statistical downscaling scheme from high-resolution model data on simulated topographies

Michael Lehning

One of the primary causes of non-uniform snowfall deposition on the ground in mountainous regions is the preferential deposition of snow, which results from the interaction of near-surface winds with topography and snow particles. However, producing high-r ...

Combining Weather Station Data and Short-Term LiDAR Deployment to Estimate Wind Energy Potential with Machine Learning: A Case Study from the Swiss Alps

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Franziska Gerber, Fanny Kristianti

Wind energy potential in complex terrain is still poorly understood and difficult to quantify. With Switzerland’s current efforts to shift to renewable energy resources, it is now becoming even more crucial to investigate the hidden potential of wind energ ...

An experimental investigation of a roof-mounted horizontal-axis wind turbine in an idealized urban environment

Fernando Porté Agel, Arslan Salim Dar, Guillem Armengol Barcos

Wind-tunnel experiments are performed to investigate the effect of minor modifications to the roof edge shape on the power performance and wake characteristics of a horizontal-axis wind turbine sited on a cube-shaped building. Three roof edge shapes are co ...

Effects of leading-edge separation on the vortex-induced vibration of an elongated bluff body

Guiyue Duan, Hongyu Li

Wind-tunnel experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of leading-edge separation on the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of an elastically-supported elongated bluff body. Solid wind barriers of various heights were fixed in the leading edge to ad ...

Analysis of Pitot tube Airflow Velocity Sensor Behavior in Blockage Situations

Ata Jedari Golparvar

Several airplanes crashes throughout the past decades are linked to the failure of the airplane flow velocity sensor known as pitot device or pitot tube. The study of its behavior in blockage, either due to human errors or due to environmental factors, cou ...

Using global reanalysis data to quantify and correct airflow distortion bias in shipborne wind speed measurements

Julia Schmale, Sebastian Johannes Heinz-Josef Landwehr

At sea, wind forcing is responsible for the formation and development of surface waves and represents an important source of near-surface turbulence. Therefore, processes related to near-surface turbulence and wave breaking, such as sea spray emission and ...
