Interaction between an Inland Urban Heat Island and a Sea-Breeze Flow: A Laboratory Study
in: Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology Volume 42 Issue 11 (2003) Jump to …

Several studies have been selected to review water tank modeling of the atmospheric
boundary layer (ABL) and demonstrate that water tank simulations have been a key factor in …

Experiments on simulating the atmospheric convective boundary layer (CBL), capped by a
temperature inversion and affected by surface shear, were carried out in the thermally …

A laboratory water-analog of clear-air penetrative convection in the atmosphere has been
constructed to continue studies of the turbulent dispersion of buoyant plumes in the …

Approximations of the turbulent moments of the atmospheric convective boundary layer are
constructed based on a variant of the local similarity theory. As the basic parameters of this …

Fluids in porous media, though ubiquitous in nature and modern technologies, are
notoriously difficult to study because they are ''invisible''to most instrumentation …

Turbulence Spectra and Dissipation Rates in a Wind Tunnel Model of the Atmospheric
Convective Boundary Layer in: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences Volume 55 Issue 4 (1998) …

A variant of the local similarity theory is considered, assuming a priori specification of two
basic dimensional parameters: the second moment of vertical velocity and the “spectral” …

Abstract Design criteria for laboratory water-analogs of clear-air penetrative convection in
the atmosphere are described. Consideration is given to the range of factors relevant to …

Most of the experimental techniques used to investigate the atmospheric turbulence give an
Eulerian description of the velocity field. Nevertheless, pollutant dispersion phenomena are …
