Convection-allowing models are used to predict the evolution of severe weather phenomena in the atmosphere. These models are sensitive to errors in the numerical environment used …
Solid structures (buildings and topography) act as obstacles and significantly influence the wind flow. Because of their importance, faithfully representing the geometry of …
We revisit the classical problem of a laminar plume arising from a point source of heat on a horizontal boundary of infinite extent in an otherwise motionless neutrally stratified …
Low-cost simulations providing accurate predictions of transport of airborne material in urban areas, vegetative canopies, and complex terrain are demanding because of the …
To understand the impact of different assimilated observations on convection-allowing model forecast skill, a diverse range of observing system simulation experiment (OSSE) case …
There is a rich history of studying coherent structures in the atmospheric boundary layer through the use of spatial correlations between wall shear stress and elevated velocity …
A microscale wildfire model, QES-Fire, that dynamically couples the fire front to microscale winds was developed using a simplified physics rate of spread (ROS) model, a kinematic …
QES-Winds is a fast-response wind modeling platform for simulating high-resolution mean wind fields for optimization and prediction. The code uses a variational analysis technique …
Over the last 50 years the large-eddy simulation (LES) technique has developed into one of the most prominent numerical tools used to study transport processes in the atmospheric …
We extend our previous study, which dealt with structure functions of potential temperature fluctuations, and focus on the characteristics of second-order velocity structure …
