Numerical simulation of air flow over mountains.

The nature of the interaction of atmospheric flow with a mountain range of finite length is investigated. An inviscid, adiabatic primitive equation model is used to simulate steady, vertically-unsheared flow past a mountain range; various cases of mountain height and width are analyzed. A similar mo...
