Neutral Conditions

Modeling atmosperic boundary layer with standard linear models does not sufficiently reproduce wind conditions in complex terrain, especially on leeward sides of terrain slopes. More complex models, based on Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations and two-equation k-? turbulence models for neutral conditions in atmospheric boundary layer, written in general curvilinear non-orthogonal co-ordinate system, have been evaluated. In order to quantify the differences and level of accuracy of different turbulence models, investigation has been performed using standard k-? model without additional production terms and k-? turbulence models with modified set of model coefficients. The sets of full conservation equations are numerically solved by computational fluid dynamics technique. Numerical calculations of turbulence models are compared to the reference experimental data of Askervein hill measurements.

Abstract A variety of atmospheric boundary layer parameters are examined as a function of wind direction in both urban and suburban settings in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, derived from measurements during the Joint Urban 2003 field campaign. Heterogeneous surface characteristics result in significant differences in upwind fetch and, therefore, statistically significant differences in measured values, even for small changes in wind direction. Taller upwind obstructions yield larger measured values of drag coefficient and turbulence intensity than do shorter upwind obstructions regardless of whether the obstruction is a building or a tree. The fraction of turbulent kinetic energy going into streamwise, cross-stream, and vertical variances differs depending on the upwind fetch, and reduced cross-stream values may indicate locations of persistent wind stream convergence. In addition, a quadrant analysis of burst/sweep behavior near the surface is examined as a function of wind direction in urban and suburban environments.
