Large Eddy Simulation of Non-Local Turbulence and Integral Measures of Atmospheric Boundary Layers

A new large eddy simulation (LES) code is developed and used to investigate non-local features of turbulent planetary boundary layers (PBLs). The LES code is based on filtered Navier-Stokes equations, which describe motions of incompressible, Boussinesq fluid at high Reynolds numbers. The code compu...
