A method for evaluating statistical errors associated with logarithmic velocity profiles 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

A logarithmic velocity profile is often fitted to velocity data in order to calculate the friction velocity (u
*) and typify the surface texture by a roughness length (z
o
). A method is given for estimating the errors in these parameters as calculated by this method. An example is given in which
the size of the error is compared with the fluctuations that typically occur in the time seriesu

A model for the density Q of vertical mass flux of sand (dust) in the convective atmospheric boundary layer as a function of the number density N of convective elements (including vortices), friction velocity u *, and vertical (turbulent) buoyancy flux B is proposed. It is shown that the flux Q is proportional to the product of the square root of B and the sixth power of u *. This finding is consistent with empirical dependences Q(u *) reported in the literature. We discuss two methods for experimentally determining density N when the lifting of dust occurs, mainly due to (terrestrial and Martian) dust devils. 相似文献

进一步研究强风条件下海-气湍流动量交换以及海浪特征,有助于提高数值天气模式对台风强度演变、移动路径以及恶劣海况的预报能力。依照前人的方法将台风分为风向与浪向(1)相同,(2)相反,和(3)交叉3个扇形区,并结合台风路径数据,得到了浮标数据相对于台风的方位。分别对3种类型的浮标数据进行分析,进而发现了波浪高度和相速度随风速增加而变化的规律。并利用GWW参数化方案计算出摩擦速度(u*)、拖曳系数(CDN)和粗糙长度(z0)。将这些结果与前人代表性的研究论文中所用观测数据和所得研究结论进行比较,结果表明二者有较强的一致性。该研究证明GWW参数化方案在强风条件下依然有很好的适用性。 相似文献

When the nondimensional aerodynamic roughness parameter for the sea surface (gz
0/u
*
2,g being the acceleration of gravity,u
* the air friction velocity) is plotted as a function of the wave age, the data points in the diagram are distributed mostly in a triangle area between the Charnock formula and the Toba-Koga formula; the nondimensional roughness perameter is not expressed as a unique function of the wave age, but rather there seem to be multiple regimes. In order to investigate the cause of the data point scattering, a reanalysis was made of the 4.5-hour time series of the wind profile and wind-wave statistics which were obtained at an oceanographic tower station under the conditions of a winter monsoon wind having slightly fluctuating speed and steadily growing wind waves.It is concluded that the averaged variation ofz
0 is given by the Toba-Koga formula with a constant of value 0.015. However, as a result of the wind fluctuation on the time scales ranging from several minutes to an hour, data points show a conspicuous fluctuation on the nondimensional roughness parameter-wave age diagram in the direction transverse to the averaged variation. The variation inz
0 directly reflects the degree of over- or under-saturation in the high-frequency range of the wind-wave spectra. Physical interpretation of these variations is also presented. 相似文献

Airy waves have a sinusoidal profile in deep water that can be modeled by a time series at any point x and time t, given by η(x,t) = (Ho/2) cos[2πx/Lo − 2πt/Tw], where Ho is the deepwater height, Lo is the deepwater wavelength, and Tw is the wave period. However, as these waves approach the shore they change in form and dimension so that this equation becomes invalid. A method is presented to reconstruct the wave profile showing the correct wavelength, wave height, wave shape, and displacement of the water surface with respect to the still water level for any water depth. 相似文献

A new set of empirical formulas for the production rate and the number concentration of sea-water droplets on the sea surface are proposed, synthesizing past observation data of sea-salt particles in the sea and water droplets in wind-wave tanks. A new levelz
c
is introduced as the effective wind-sea surface where seawater droplets are produced. The new formulas are expressed in linear functions in logarithmic scales ofu*2/v
p
, a parameter to describe overall conditions of airsea boundary processes, whereu
* is the friction velocity of air,v the kinematic viscosity of air and
p
the peak angular frequency of wind-wave part of wave spectra. A model of coexistence of spray droplets and suspended particles near the sea surface is proposed. As for the independent parameter, a comparison between the uses ofu*2/v
p
and ofu

3 which was the traditional way of parameterization excluding wave measure, shows that the advantage of usingu*2/v

A formulation for the aerodynamic roughness length of air flow over wind waves $$z_0 = \gamma {\text{ }}u_* /\sigma p$$ which was proposed by Toba (1979) and Toba and Koga (1986) from dimensional considerations with some data analysis, is shown to correspond with a formulation for irregular solid surfaces $$(z_0 /h) = a(h/l)^{1 + \beta } $$ which resulted from work by Woodinget al. (1973) and Kustas and Brutsaert (1986);u * is the friction velocity,σ p the spectral peak frequency of wind waves,h the mean height of the solid obstacles,l the mean distance between their crests, andα,Β, andγ are constants. This correspondence is reached by the existence of a statistical 3/2-power law and an effective dispersion relationship for wind waves. Because both approaches of parameterizingz 0 were arrived at independently, they provide each other mutual reinforcement. 相似文献

Measurements of tidal current and wave velocity made at 0.69 and 1.85 m above a rough seafloor exhibit large current gradients (boundary layer) in the water column. The logarithmic boundary layer flow model was fitted to the measurements, and thus roughness (z0) and friction velocity (u*) parameters were derived. The roughness parameter values were generally consistent with the observed upstream physical roughness. The values of both parameters for conditions in the rough turbulence flow regime are generally larger (much larger for ebb) than earlier published values for similar measurements of currents in the absence of significant waves but are comparable to values from recent measurements of currents in the presence of storm waves. The high parameter values here appear to relate more to the magnitude of the current and to the upstream physical bottom roughness than to the magnitude of the seastate. Large boundary layers in the flow at the seabed have a profound effect on the design of offshore structures such as offshore pipelines. 相似文献

The paper discusses a method for the statistical evaluation of the vertical current velocity componentV
z(z) using data provided by profilers. The calculation of theV
z(z) profiles involves the determination of the root-mean-square deviation of the error of determination of the vetical current
velocity component at each level and the RMS deviation of the sample statistical variability of this quantity's estimates.
ProfilesV
z(z) have been computed for the north-western Black Sea using three surveys, with the involvement of an OLT profiler. The computations
have shownV
z(z) to have a two-layer structure, with zero being crossed in the main pycnocline. Such structure of the current velocity
vertical component is consistent with the hydrodynamic model of the field of currents induced by buoyancy fluxes through the
lateral boundaries of the basin. The availability of the zero values of the vertical current velocity in the pycnocline yields
a tool for gaining insight into the mechanism controlling the emergence of the oxic/anoxic interface and areas with sharp
vertical gradients of chemical and hydro-optical characteristics.

The estimated characteristics of the atmospheric boundary layer, obtained by the simulation of wind wave fields using three versions of the WAM numerical model are compared with the well-known empirical dependences of drag coefficient C d on wind speed U 10 and wave age A, as well as with the dependence of dimensionless roughness height z n on inverse wave age u*/с р. Calculations carried out for several years in the areas of the Pacific and Indian oceans, based on the ERA-interim and CFSR wind reanalyses have shown good agreement between the model and empirical dependences C d (U 10) and C d (A). The range of estimated variability for z n (u*/с р ) has been found to be significantly less than empirical. It has been also found that estimated values of wind speed U 10W (t) are overestimated from 5 to 10% in all versions of WAM models compared with the input wind reanalysis U 10R (t) at the moments of appearance maximum values of wind U 10R (t). The reasons for the established features of the WAM model and their dependence on the model version are discussed. 相似文献

Velocity profiles in a salt marsh canopy 总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7
Flow velocity profiles, measured in aSpartina anglica canopy in a laboratory flume, change with the location of measurement and plant stem density. The shear velocity above the canopy is larger than that within the canopy. The reduction ofu
* within the canopy will favor the deposition of cohesive sediment. The reducedu
* and flow turbulence within the canopy can enhance particle flocculation and settling velocity. The canopy exerts a strong influence on the concentration, settling velocity of the flocs, and deposition rate of the suspended sediment through effects on bed shear stress and turbulence of flow within the canopy. 相似文献

Wind-wave spectra measured in a wind-flume are analyzed according to the hypothesis of local equilibrium. The gross relation between the wave height and the frequency is reexamined to yield the basic validity of the 3/2-power law of Toba orE～? in the range of 0.4≦?≦1, where? is the wave-wind parameter defined by?=ω p u */g; ω p denotes the peak frequency of the wind-wave spectra,u * the friction velocity andg the gravitational acceleration. Noticeable deviation is found, however, for?<0.4 or?>1. In particular, the data for large? suggest the existence of an upper limit of the wave nonlinearityE at about 5×10?2, whereE=Eω p 4 /g2 withE the total power of the wind wave spectrum. Then, the spectral form is investigated in detail. As? decreases, the normalized spectrum becomes more gradual as a whole, but its forward (low frequency) part tends to show a steeper profile. In the high frequency region ( \(\tilde \omega \) >2.6), the spectrum is found to have a functional form likeu * 2 ω ?3, which differs from the usualω-dependence asω ?5 orω ?4. It suggests weak dependence of the high-frequency spectra on the gravitational accelerationg and on the peak frequencyω p ; spectral density at high frequencies may be saturated, so that its magnitude may be dominated by the frequencyω, the friction velocityu *, the surface tension and the viscosity. 相似文献

Wind and wind-generated waves were measured in a wind-wave tank. A clear transition was found in the relation between the wind speed U 10 and the wind friction velocity u * near u * = 0.2 m/s, where U 10 is the wind speed at 10 m height extrapolated from the measured wind profile in a logarithmic layer, and u * = 0.2 m/s corresponds roughly to U 10 = 8 m/s in the present measurement. Quite a similar transition was found in the relation between the spectral density of high frequency wind waves and u *. These results suggest the existence of the critical wind speed for air–sea boundary processes, which was proposed by Munk (J Marine Res 6:203–218, 1947) more than half a century ago. His original idea of the critical wind speed was based on the discontinuities in such phenomena as white caps, wind stress, and evaporation, which commonly appear at a wind speed near 7 m/s. On the basis of the results of our present study and those of earlier studies, we discuss the phenomena which are relevant to the critical wind speed for the air–sea boundary processes. The conclusion is that the critical wind speed exists and it is attributed to the start of wave breaking rather than the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability, but the air–sea boundary processes are not discontinuous at a particular wind speed; because of the stochastic nature of breaking waves, the changes occur over a range of wind speeds. Detailed discussions are presented on the dynamical processes associated with the critical wind speed such as wind-induced change of sea surface roughness and high frequency wave spectrum. Future studies are required, however, to clarify the dynamical processes quantitatively. In particular, there is a need to further examine the gradual change of breaking patterns of wind waves with the increase of wind speed, and the associated change of the structure of the wind over wind waves, such as separation of the airflow at the crest of wind waves, the turbulent stress, and wave-induced stress. Studies on the dynamical structure of the high frequency wave spectrum are also needed. 相似文献

This article proposes a predictive method for identifying the range of sea-states considered safe for the installation of offshore structures. A finite element dynamic analysis of the system for various sea-states characterized by significant wave heights and mean zero-up-crossing wave periods and modeled as a combination of several wave components has been performed. Using this procedure a table of safe and unsafe sea-states is generated. The significant wave height (Hs) and mean zero-up-crossing wave period (Tz) of a future sea-state in a location in the north east Pacific were predicted from the distributions whose parameters were estimated using the artificial neural networks (ANNs) trained for this purpose. The location of US National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) Buoy 46005 is used in this study.The Hs and Tz of some future sea-states were predicted from their corresponding conditional 7-parameter distribution given some information including a number of previously measured Hs’s and Tz’s. This gives a predicted sea-state for a specific time in future. The parameters of the distributions have been estimated from the outputs of two different 7-network sets of trained ANNs. A pile-driving operation is used as a case study in which the pile configuration, including the non-linear foundation and the gap between the pile and the pile sleeve shims, has been modeled by the finite elements method and the range of sea-states suitable for safe pile-driving operation was identified. 相似文献

The paper examines the dependency between total sediment transport, q, and grain size, D (i.e. q ∝ Dp) under dam break generated swash flows. Experiments were performed in a dam break flume over a sloping mobile sand bed with median grain sizes ranging from 0.22 mm to 2.65 mm. The total sediment transport was measured by truncating the flume bed and collecting the sediment transported over the edge. The experiments were designed to exclude pre-generated turbulence and pre-suspended sediment so as to focus solely on the swash flow. The magnitude and nature of the grain size dependency (i.e. p value) were inferred for different flow parameters; the initial dam depth, do, the integrated depth averaged velocity cubed, ∫ u3dt, and against the predicted transport potential, qp, using the Meyer-Peter Muller (MPM) transport model and variations of that model. The data show that negative dependencies (p < 0) are obtained for do and qp, whilst positive dependencies (p > 0) are obtained for ∫ u3dt. This indicates that a given do and qp transport less sediment as grain size increases, whereas transport increases with grain size for a given ∫ u3dt. The p value is found to be narrowly ranged, 0.5 ≤ p ≤ − 0.5. On average, the incorporation of a pressure gradient term via the piezometric head into the MPM formulation reduces qp by 4% (fine sand) to 18% (coarse sand). The measured total transport for fine and coarse sands is best predicted using MPM and MPM + dp*/dx respectively. However, the inferred optimum transport coefficient in the MPM formulation is about 30, much higher than the standard coefficient in a steady flow and this is not due to the presence of the pre-suspended sediment. The optimum transport coefficient indicates some sensitivity to grain size, suggesting that some transport processes remain unaccounted for in the model. 相似文献

Seasonally open tidal inlets usually occur in microtidal, wave-dominated coastal environments where strong seasonal variations of streamflow and wave climate are experienced. These inlets are closed to the ocean for a number of months every year due to the formation of sand bars across their entrances. The annual closure of these inlets inhibits ocean access for boats and could also cause deterioration of water quality in the estuary/lagoon connected to the inlet. As these estuaries/lagoons are commonly used as harbours or recreational facilities there is increased interest in keeping the inlets permanently open. A process-based numerical model capable of simulating inlet closure is invaluable in terms of identifying the natural processes governing inlet closure. As a further step, this type of model could also be used to determine the effect of any proposed engineering solutions to keep the inlet open on the adjacent beaches. A morphodynamic model capable of simulating the seasonal closure of inlets, which includes both longshore (LST) and cross-shore transport (CST) processes, was developed in this study. Application of the model to two idealised scenarios indicated that cross-shore processes govern inlet behaviour when LST rates were low. The Dean's criterion [Dean, R.G., 1973. Heuristic models of sand transport in the surf zone. Proc. Conf. on Eng. Dynamics in the Surf Zone, Sydney, pp. 208–214.] for on–offshore transport was employed to show that, for small offshore wave incidence angles, onshore transport aided inlet closure when the offshore wave steepness (Ho/Lo) was less than the critical wave steepness (Ho/Lo)crit, while offshore transport helped to keep the inlet open when (Ho/Lo) was greater than (Ho/Lo)crit. LST was found to be the dominant process leading to inlet closure when (Ho/Lo) was much larger than (Ho/Lo)crit or when the offshore wave incidence angle was large. 相似文献
