Even in their most idealized or elemental forms, these flows conflate two notoriously difficult aspects of atmospheric dynamics: turbulence and natural convection. Although much progress has been made in the conceptual understanding and numerical simulation of ...

Boundary-Layer Meteorology

Analytical solutions are obtained for the periodic laminar regime for arbitrary values of stratification, Prandtl number and forcing frequency. The solutions for plates and cylinders are qualitatively similar and show that (i) the flows are composed of two waves that decay exponentially with distance from the surface; a fast long wave and a slow short wave, (ii) for forcing frequencies less than the natural frequency, both waves propagate away from the surface, while (iii) for forcing frequencies less than this natural frequency, the short wave propagates away from the surface while the long wave propagates toward the surface. The analytical results are complemented, for the plate problem, with three-dimensional numerical simulations of fl...

John Wyngaard, the author of the book, is by all counts an outstanding figure in the area of atmospheric turbulence studies. His contributions to the field are both numerous and exceptional. As a person, John comprises all the principal qualities of an outstanding scien-tist and academic: curiosity, witty mind, breadth of thinking, depth of understanding, healthy scepticism (also with respect to his own results), and readiness to share his knowledge with colleagues and students. I happened to come across John Wyngaard’s name at the beginning of the 1980s, while I was working on my Ph.D. dissertation in atmospheric boundary-layer modelling. His brilliant scientific articles profoundly shaped my interest in the quantitative aspects of boundary-layer meteorology. Apparently, they played the same role in the scien-tific careers of many other atmospheric boundary-layer researchers worldwide. ...

During fairweather daytime conditions, the buoyancy forcing in the boundary layer is primarily represented by convective heat transfer from a warm underlying surface. Such buoyancy forcing generates upand downward motions that effectively mix momentum and scalar fields inside the CBL. Due to active mixing, the wind velocity, potential temperature (buoyancy), and concentrations of atmospheric constituents in the main portion of the CBL (often referred to as convectively mixed layer) do not change considerably with height when averaged over horizontal planes or over time. A typical CBL can be subdivided into three separate layers: the surface layer, in which the meteorological variables change fairly rapidly with height; the mixed layer, where mean...

Flows of the studied type are broadly represented in engineering and geophysical applications. First, the classical problem of one-dimensional natural convection flow along a heated wall is revisited for the case of a stably stratified ambient fluid. The study then focuses on laminar natural convection in a viscous stably stratified fluid resulting from temporally periodic variations in the wall surface temperature. Finally, scaling relationships are proposed for the turbulent convection flow along a heated wall and verified based on results of direct numerical simulations.
