Recent advances in boundary-layer meteorology are beginning to allow the study of atmospheric flow phenomena that have previously been poorly understood. In this dissertation, we study the effects of complex terrain and unsteady regimes on the atmospheric ...
In this Master’s thesis, turbulent flow of the atmosphere over the urban canopy of the ‘Sunset’ neighbourhood in Vancouver was studied using a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model. A high precision Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) dataset was employed to r ...
We propose an inter-comparison of Smagorinsky type subgrid-scale models for the simulation of high Reynolds number katabatic flows, with the purpose of testing the validity of some of the model's assumptions for the considered application. Katabatic flows ...
Experiments on grid turbulence are reported for pure water and dilute Polyox WSR 301 solutions. A novel passive grid, which consists of a square mesh grid with tethered spheres, has been developed to enhance the turbulence properties. In pure water the new ...
The purpose of this paper is to show the feasibility of a large-scale unsteady flow computation. This computation consists in the simulation of the rotating stall appearing into a pump-turbine operating at part load condition (Q/QBEP=76%) in pumping mode. ...
We present an intercomparison of three subgrid-scale (SGS) models for large-eddy simulation (LES) of katabatic flows. The SGS closures we study include the Smagorinsky formulation, a scale-invariant dynamic model, and a scale-dependent dynamic model. Downs ...
Most natural landscapes are characterized by multiscale (often multifractal) topography with well-known scale-invariance properties. For example, the spectral density of landscape elevation fields is often found to have a power-law scaling behaviour (with ...
Large-eddy simulation (LES) is used to simulate stably-stratified turbulent boundary-layer flow over a steep two-dimensional hill. To parametrise the subgrid-scale (SGS) fluxes of heat and momentum, three different types of SGS models are tested: (a) the S ...
Grid turbulence of polyethylene oxide (PEO) solutions (Polyox WSR-301 in H2O) has been investigated experimentally for three concentrations of 25, 50 and 100 weight ppm, at a turbulence Reynolds number based on a Taylor microscale of Re-lambda approximate ...
Large-eddy simulations of flow past a two-dimensional (2D) block were performed to evaluate four sub-grid-scale (SGS) models: (i) the traditional Smagorinsky model, (ii) the Lagrangian dynamic model, (iii) the Lagrangian scale-dependent dynamic model, and ...
