RANS Simulation of Local Strong Sandstorms Induced by a Cold Pool with Vorticity

Local strong sandstorms (LSSs) in northwestern China often occur suddenly in tens of minutes during the late afternoon and by dusk. Observations and theoretical studies have shown the trigger role of cold-air pools over desert areas for the occurrence of LSS. In this study, a numerical heat convecti...
