The influence of small scale variability on scaling relationships describing atmospheric turbulence

Creator:

Howell, James Frederick

Abstract:

The statistics describing variations of turbulent motions within the so called inertial range of length scales depend on the scale over which the motions are varying and the "average" rate at which the turbulent kinetic energy is being dissipated on the molecular scale. This hypothesis stemmed from the similarity arguments...

Modelling and analysis of geophysical turbulence : use of optimal transforms and basis sets

Creator:

Gamage, Nimal K. K.

Abstract:

The use of efficient basis functions to model and represent flows with internal sharp velocity gradients, such as shocks or eddy microfronts, are investigated. This is achieved by analysing artificial data, observed atmospheric turbulence data and by the use of a Burgers' equation based spectral model. The concept of an...
