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 …
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 …
This paper describes MicroHH 1.0, a new and open-source (www.microhh.org) computational fluid dynamics code for the simulation of turbulent flows in the atmosphere. It is primarily …
