In large-eddy simulations (LES) of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), near-surface models are often used to supplement
subgrid-scale (SGS) turbulent stresses when a major fraction of the energetic scales within the surface layer cannot be resolved
with the temporal and spatial resolution at hand. In this study, we investigate the performance of both dynamic and non-dynamic
eddy viscosity models coupled with near-surface models in simulations of a neutrally stratified ABL. Two near-surface models
that are commonly used in LES of the atmospheric boundary layer are considered. Additionally, a hybrid Reynolds- averaged/LES
eddy viscosity model is presented, which uses Prandtl’s mixing length model in the vicinity of the surface, and blends in
with the dynamic Smagorinsky model away from the surface. Present simulations show that significant portions of the modelled
turbulent stresses are generated by the near-surface models, and they play a dominant role in capturing the expected logarithmic
wind profile. Visualizations of the instantaneous vorticity field reveal that flow structures in the vicinity of the surface
depend on the choice of the near-surface model. Among the three near-surface models studied, the hybrid eddy viscosity model
gives the closest agreement with the logarithmic wind profile in the surface layer. It is also observed that high levels of
resolved turbulence stresses can be maintained with the so-called canopy stress model while producing good agreement with
the logarithmic wind profile. 相似文献

A long-standing problem in large-eddy simulations (LES) of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is that the mean wind and temperature profiles differ from the Monin-Obukhov similarity forms in the surface layer. This shortcoming of LES has been attributed to poor grid resolution and inadequate sub-grid-scale (SGS) modeling. We study this deficiency in PBL LES solutions calculated over a range of shear and buoyancy forcing conditions. The discrepancy from similarity forms becomes larger with increasing shear and smaller buoyancy forcing, and persists even with substantial horizontal grid refinement. With strong buoyancy forcing, however, the error is negligible.In order to achieve better agreement between LES and similarity forms in the surface layer, a two-part SGS eddy-viscosity model is proposed. The model preserves the usual SGS turbulent kinetic energy formulation for the SGS eddy viscosity, but it explicitly includes a contribution from the mean flow and a reduction of the contributions from the turbulent fluctuations near the surface. Solutions with the new model yield increased fluctuation amplitudes near the surface and better correspondence with similarity forms out to a distance of 0.1–0.2 times the PBL depth, i.e., a typical surface-layer depth. These results are also found to be independent of grid anisotropy. The new model is simple to implement and computationally inexpensive.The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. 相似文献

Field experimental data in the atmospheric surface layer are analyzed using toolsfrom statistical geometry. The data consist of velocity measurements from sonicanemometer arrays. In the context of large eddy simulations (LES), these arrayspermit the spatial filtering needed to separate large from small scales. Time seriesof various quantities relevant to LES are evaluated from the data. Results show thatthe preferred filtered fluid deformation is axisymmetric extension and the preferredsubgrid stress state is axisymmetric contraction. The filtered fluctuating vorticityshows preferred alignments with the mean vorticity, with the streamwise direction,and with the intermediate strain-rate eigenvector. The alignment between eigenvectorsof the subgrid-scale stress and filtered strain rate is used to test eddy viscosity andmixed model formulations. In qualitative agreement with prior laboratory measurements at much lower Reynolds numbers, a bimodal distribution is observed, which can be reduced to good alignment with eddy viscosity closure using the mixed model. 相似文献

Application of Dynamic Subgrid-scale Models for Large-eddy Simulation of the Daytime Convective Boundary Layer over Heterogeneous Surfaces 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The sensitivity of large-eddy simulation (LES) to the representation of subgrid-scale (SGS) processes is explored for the
case of the convective boundary layer (CBL) developing over surfaces with varying degrees of spatial heterogeneity. Three
representations of SGS processes are explored: the traditional constant Smagorinsky–Lilly model and two other dynamic models
with Lagrangian averaging approaches to calculate the Smagorinsky coefficient (C
S
) and SGS Prandtl number (Pr). With initial data based roughly on the observed meteorology, simulations of daytime CBL growth are performed over surfaces
with characteristics (i.e. fluxes and roughness) ranging from homogeneous, to striped heterogeneity, to a realistic representation
of heterogeneity as derived from a recent field study. In both idealized tests and the realistic case, SGS sensitivities are
mostly manifest near the surface and entrainment zone. However, unlike simulations over complex domains or under neutral or
stable conditions, these differences for the CBL simulation, where large eddies dominate, are not significant enough to distinguish
the performance of the different SGS models, irrespective of surface heterogeneity. 相似文献

Large-eddy Simulation of the Dispersion of Solid Particles in a Turbulent Boundary Layer 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：2

A large-eddy simulation (LES) with the dynamic Smagorinsky-Germano subgrid-scale (SGS) model is used to study the dispersion of solid particles in a turbulent boundary layer. Solid particles are tracked in a Lagrangian way. The instantaneous velocity of the surrounding fluid is considered to have a large-scale part (directly computed by the LES) and a small-scale part. The SGS velocity of the surrounding fluid is given by a three-dimensional Langevin model written in terms of SGS statistics at a mesh level. An appropriate Lagrangian correlation time scale is considered in order to include the influences of gravity and inertia of the solid particle. Inter-particle collisions and the influence of particles on the mean flow are also taken into account. The results of the LES are compared with the wind-tunnel experiments of Nalpanis et al. (1993 J Fluid Mech 251: 661–685) and of Tanière et al. (1997 Exp in Fluids 23:463–471) on sand particles in saltation and in modified saltation, respectively. 相似文献

Large-eddy simulation (LES), coupled with a wind-turbine model, is used to investigate the characteristics of a wind-turbine
wake in a neutral turbulent boundary-layer flow. The tuning-free Lagrangian scale-dependent dynamic subgrid-scale (SGS) model
is used for the parametrisation of the SGS stresses. The turbine-induced forces (e.g., thrust, lift and drag) are parametrised
using two models: (a) the ‘standard’ actuator-disk model (ADM-NR), which calculates only the thrust force and distributes
it uniformly over the rotor area; and (b) the actuator-disk model with rotation (ADM-R), which uses the blade-element theory
to calculate the lift and drag forces (that produce both thrust and rotation), and distribute them over the rotor disk based
on the local blade and flow characteristics. Simulation results are compared to high-resolution measurements collected with
hot-wire anemometry in the wake of a miniature wind turbine at the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory atmospheric boundary-layer
wind tunnel. In general, the characteristics of the wakes simulated with the proposed LES framework are in good agreement
with the measurements in the far-wake region. The ADM-R yields improved predictions compared with the ADM-NR in the near-wake
region, where including turbine-induced flow rotation and accounting for the non-uniformity of the turbine-induced forces
appear to be important. Our results also show that the Lagrangian scale-dependent dynamic SGS model is able to account, without
any tuning, for the effects of local shear and flow anisotropy on the distribution of the SGS model coefficient. 相似文献

Most natural landscapes are characterized by multiscale (often multifractal) topography with well-known scale-invariance properties.
For example, the spectral density of landscape elevation fields is often found to have a power-law scaling behaviour (with
a −2 slope on a log–log scale) over a wide span of spatial scales, typically ranging from tens of kilometres down to a few
metres. Even though the effect of topography on the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) has been the subject of numerous studies,
few have focussed on multiscale topography. In this study, large-eddy simulation (LES) is used to investigate boundary-layer
flow over multiscale topography, and guide the development of parametrizations needed to represent the effects of subgrid-scale
(SGS) topography in numerical models of ABL flow. Particular emphasis is placed on the formulation of an effective roughness
used to account for the increased aerodynamic roughness associated with SGS topography. The LES code uses the scale-dependent
Lagrangian dynamic SGS model for the turbulent stresses and a terrain-following coordinate transformation to explicitly resolve
the effects of the topography at scales larger than the LES resolution. The terrain used in the simulations is generated using
a restricted solid-on-solid landscape evolution model, and it is characterized by a −2 slope of the elevation power spectrum.
Results from simulations performed using elevation fields band-pass filtered at different spatial resolutions indicate a clear
linear relation between the square of the effective roughness and the variance of elevation. 相似文献

The performance of the modulated-gradient subgrid-scale (SGS) model is investigated using large-eddy simulation (LES) of the neutral atmospheric boundary layer within the weather research and forecasting model. Since the model includes a finite-difference scheme for spatial derivatives, the discretization errors may affect the simulation results. We focus here on understanding the effects of finite-difference schemes on the momentum balance and the mean velocity distribution, and the requirement (or not) of the ad hoc canopy model. We find that, unlike the Smagorinsky and turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) models, the calculated mean velocity and vertical shear using the modulated-gradient model, are in good agreement with Monin–Obukhov similarity theory, without the need for an extra near-wall canopy model. The structure of the near-wall turbulent eddies is better resolved using the modulated-gradient model in comparison with the classical Smagorinsky and TKE models, which are too dissipative and yield unrealistic smoothing of the smallest resolved scales. Moreover, the SGS fluxes obtained from the modulated-gradient model are much smaller near the wall in comparison with those obtained from the regular Smagorinsky and TKE models. The apparent inability of the LES model in reproducing the mean streamwise component of the momentum balance using the total (resolved plus SGS) stress near the surface is probably due to the effect of the discretization errors, which can be calculated a posteriori using the Taylor-series expansion of the resolved velocity field. Overall, we demonstrate that the modulated-gradient model is less dissipative and yields more accurate results in comparison with the classical Smagorinsky model, with similar computational costs. 相似文献

A large-eddy simulation (LES) with a one-equation subgrid-scale (SGS) model was developed to investigate the flow field and
pollutant dispersion inside street canyons of high aspect ratio (AR). A 1/7th power-law wall model was implemented near rigid
walls to mitigate the demanding near-wall resolution requirements in LES. This LES model had been extensively validated against
experimental results for street canyons of AR = 1 and 2 before it was applied to the cases of AR = 3 and 5. A ground-level
passive pollutant line source, located in the middle of the street, was used to simulate vehicular emissions. Three and five
vertically aligned primary recirculations were developed in the street canyons of AR 3 and 5, respectively. The ground-level
mean wind speed was less than 0.5% of the free stream value, which makes it difficult for the pollutant to be transported
upward for removal. High pollutant concentration and variance were found near the buildings where the air flow is upwards.
It was found that the velocity fluctuation, pollutant concentration and variance were all closely related to the interactions
between the primary recirculations and/or the free surface layer. Several quantities, which are non-linear functions of AR,
were introduced to quantify the air quality in street canyons of different configurations. 相似文献

Large-Eddy Simulation of the Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer using Dynamic Models with Different Averaging Schemes 总被引：5，自引：5，他引：0
Large-eddy simulation (LES) of a stable atmospheric boundary layer is performed using recently developed dynamic subgrid-scale
(SGS) models. These models not only calculate the Smagorinsky coefficient and SGS Prandtl number dynamically based on the
smallest resolved motions in the flow, they also allow for scale dependence of those coefficients. This dynamic calculation
requires statistical averaging for numerical stability. Here, we evaluate three commonly used averaging schemes in stable
atmospheric boundary-layer simulations: averaging over horizontal planes, over adjacent grid points, and following fluid particle
trajectories. Particular attention is focused on assessing the effect of the different averaging methods on resolved flow
statistics and SGS model coefficients. Our results indicate that averaging schemes that allow the coefficients to fluctuate
locally give results that are in better agreement with boundary-layer similarity theory and previous LES studies. Even among
models that are local, the averaging method is found to affect model coefficient probability density function distributions
and turbulent spectra of the resolved velocity and temperature fields. Overall, averaging along fluid pathlines is found to
produce the best combination of self consistent model coefficients, first- and second-order flow statistics and insensitivity
to grid resolution. 相似文献

Summary ?A time-dependent semi-geostrophic Ekman boundary-layer model (SG), including slowly varying eddy diffusivity with height
and inertial term effects, is developed to investigate the diurnal wind variation in the planetary boundary layer (PBL). An
approximate analytical solution of this model is derived by using the WKB method, which extends the Tan and Farahani (1998)’s
solution by including the vertical variable eddy viscosity.
The features of the diurnal wind variation in the PBL mainly depend on three factors: the latitude, horizontal momentum advection
and eddy viscosity. The vertical variable eddy viscosity has little influence on diurnal wind variation in the PBL at the
low latitude, however its effect may be exacerbated in the mid- and high latitudes. In comparing with the constant eddy viscosity
case, the decreasing (increasing) with height eddy viscosity produces a large (small) maximum wind speed (MWS) in the PBL,
however, the eddy viscosity that has a mid-layer peak in the vertical gives rise to a higher height of occurrence of MWS.
For the boundary-layer wind structure, there is a singular point when the modified SG inertial oscillation frequency η equals
the forcing frequency ω. The isotachs of boundary-layer wind speed have almost no tilt to left or right relative to time evolution
and the occurrence time of the MWS is the earliest at the singular point. The feature will be enhanced in the decreasing with
height eddy viscosity case and weakened in the eddy viscosity initially increasing with height case.

在边界层动力学中，涡动粘性系数是影响边界层风场结构的一个重要参数。本文利用边界层动力学中的Ekman动量近似理论，给出了涡动粘性系数随高度缓变条件下的Ekman动量近似边界层模式解，着重讨论了边界层的风场结构、水平散度、垂直涡度以及边界层顶部的垂直速度。结果分析表明：与常值涡动粘性系数情况相比，在边界层低层随高度增加的涡动粘性系数可以导致低层边界层风速随高度迅速增加，即风速垂直切变增加，同时风速矢与地转风之间的夹角减小。惯性项作用可以导致上述作用在气旋性区域减小、而在反气旋性区域增大。随高度增加的涡动粘性系数导致水平散度绝对值、垂直涡度绝对值以及边界层顶部的垂直速度绝对值在气旋性区域减小，而在反气性旋区域增大。涡动粘性系数与惯性之间的非线性相互作用是边界层动力学中重要过程。 相似文献

One-dimensional turbulence (ODT) is a single-column simulation in which vertical motions are represented by an unsteady advective process, rather than their customary representation by a diffusive process. No space or time averaging of mesh-resolved motions is invoked. Molecular-transport scales can be resolved in ODT simulations of laboratory-scale flows, but this resolution of these scales is prohibitively expensive in ODT simulations of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), except possibly in small subregions of a non-uniform mesh.Here, two methods for ODT simulation of the ABL on uniform meshes are described and applied to the GABLS (GEWEX Atmospheric Boundary Layer Study; GEWEX is the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment) stable boundary-layer intercomparison case. One method involves resolution of the roughness scale using a fixed eddy viscosity to represent subgrid motions. The other method, which is implemented at lower spatial resolution, involves a variable eddy viscosity determined by the local mesh-resolved flow, as in multi-dimensional large-eddy simulation (LES). When run at typical LES resolution, it reproduces some of the key high-resolution results, but its fidelity is lower in some important respects. It is concluded that a more elaborate empirically based representation of the subgrid physics, closely analogous to closures currently employed in LES of the ABL, might improve its performance substantially, yielding a cost-effective ABL simulation tool. Prospects for further application of ODT to the ABL, including possible use of ODT as a near-surface subgrid closure framework for general circulation modeling, are assessed. 相似文献

A method to simulate characteristics of wind speed in the boundary layer of tropical cyclones in an idealized manner is developed and evaluated. The method can be used in a single-column modelling set-up with a planetary boundary-layer parametrization, or within large-eddy simulations (LES). The key step is to include terms in the horizontal velocity equations representing advection and centrifugal acceleration in tropical cyclones that occurs on scales larger than the domain size. Compared to other recently developed methods, which require two input parameters (a reference wind speed, and radius from the centre of a tropical cyclone) this new method also requires a third input parameter: the radial gradient of reference wind speed. With the new method, simulated wind profiles are similar to composite profiles from dropsonde observations; in contrast, a classic Ekman-type method tends to overpredict inflow-layer depth and magnitude, and two recently developed methods for tropical cyclone environments tend to overpredict near-surface wind speed. When used in LES, the new technique produces vertical profiles of total turbulent stress and estimated eddy viscosity that are similar to values determined from low-level aircraft flights in tropical cyclones. Temporal spectra from LES produce an inertial subrange for frequencies \(\gtrsim \)0.1 Hz, but only when the horizontal grid spacing \(\lesssim \)20 m. 相似文献

A simple model of the atmospheric boundary layer over the ocean where the swell impact on the atmosphere is explicitly accounted
for is suggested. The model is based on Ekman’s equations, where the stress in the wave boundary layer is split into two parts:
the turbulent and wave-induced stress. The turbulent stress is parameterized traditionally via the eddy viscosity proportional
to the generalized mixing length. The wave-induced stress directed upward (from swell to the atmosphere) is parameterized
using the formalism of the wind-over-waves coupling theory. The model can be seen as an extension of the model by Kudryavtsev
and Makin (J Phys Oceanogr 34:934–949, 2004) to the scale of the entire atmospheric boundary layer by including the Coriolis force into the momentum conservation
equation and generalizing the definition of the mixing length. The regime of low winds for swell propagating along the wind
direction is studied. It is shown that the impact of swell on the atmosphere is governed mainly by the swell parameter—the
coupling parameter that is the product of the swell steepness and the growth rate coefficient. When the coupling parameter
drops below − 1 the impact of swell becomes significant and affects the entire atmospheric boundary layer. The turbulent stress
is enhanced near the surface as compared to the no-swell case, and becomes negative above the height of the inner region.
The wind profile is characterized by a positive gradient near the surface and a negative gradient above the height of the
inner region forming a characteristic bump at the height of the inner region. Results of the model agree at least qualitatively
with observations performed in the atmosphere in presence of swell. 相似文献

Large-eddy simulation (LES) is used to simulate stably-stratified turbulent boundary-layer flow over a steep two-dimensional
hill. To parametrise the subgrid-scale (SGS) fluxes of heat and momentum, three different types of SGS models are tested:
(a) the Smagorinsky model, (b) the Lagrangian dynamic model, and (c) the scale-dependent Lagrangian dynamic model (Stoll and
Porté-Agel, Water Resour Res 2006, doi:). Simulation results obtained with the different models are compared with data from wind-tunnel experiments conducted at
the Environmental Flow Research Laboratory (EnFlo), University of Surrey, U.K. (Ross et al., Boundary-Layer Meteorol 113:427–459,
2004). It is found that, in this stably-stratified boundary-layer flow simulation, the scale-dependent Lagrangian dynamic model
is able to account for the scale dependence of the eddy-viscosity and eddy-diffusivity model coefficients associated with
flow anisotropy in flow regions with large mean shear and/or strong flow stratification. As a result, simulations using this
tuning-free model lead to turbulence statistics that are more realistic than those obtained with the other two models. 相似文献

We examine the dynamics of turbulence subgrid (or sub-filter) scales over a lake surface and the implications for large-eddy
simulations (LES) of the atmospheric boundary layer. The analysis is based on measurements obtained during the Lake-Atmosphere
Turbulent EXchange (LATEX) field campaign (August–October, 2006) over Lake Geneva, Switzerland. Wind velocity, temperature
and humidity profiles were measured at 20 Hz using a vertical array of four sonic anemometers and open-path gas analyzers.
The results indicate that the observed subgrid-scale statistics are very similar to those observed over land surfaces, suggesting
that the effect of the lake waves on surface-layer turbulence during LATEX is small. The measurements allowed, for the first
time, the study of subgrid-scale turbulent transport of water vapour, which is found to be well correlated with the transport
of heat, suggesting that the subgrid-scale modelling of the two scalars may be coupled to save computational resources during
LES. 相似文献
