Anisotropy of unstably stratified near-surface turbulence

I Stiperski, M Chamecki, M Calaf - Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 2021 - Springer
Abstract Classic Monin–Obukov similarity scaling states that in a stationary, horizontally
homogeneous flow, in the absence of subsidence, turbulence is dictated by the balance …

Logarithmic-linear law of the streamwise velocity variance in stably stratified boundary layers

XIA Yang, PES Chen, R Hu, M Abkar - Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 2022 - Springer
Abstract We exploit Monin–Obukhov similarity theory and Townsend's attached-eddy
hypothesis and arrive at a logarithmic-linear law for the streamwise velocity variance in the …

Scaling law of the second-order structure function over the entire sandstorm process

H Liu, Y Shi, X Zheng - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
This study reveals the competitive evolutionary process of the main driving factors in the

On the size of dominant momentum transporting eddies in stable atmospheric boundary layers

X Shao, N Zhang, D Li, J Sun - Geophysical Research Letters, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
The size of dominant momentum transporting eddies L mt L_mt in stable atmospheric
boundary layers is poorly understood. This study demonstrates that the distance to the …
