Abstract
The paper discusses approaches to the construction of integral models of the convective boundary layer (CBL), based on the concept of complete mixing. To test analytic bulk models and the basic hypotheses of similarity, we use the results of eddy modeling (LES – Large Eddy Simulation). The empirical constants of the CBL integral models obtained according to the LES data for the case of free convection, are in good agreement with the previously published data of laboratory experiments. It is also shown that the flow of kinetic energy from the upper boundary of the CPS, carried out by gravitational waves, is small compared with other components of the balance of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in the convective layer. Parametrization of TKE generation for the case of sheared convective boundary layer in terms of the friction velocity and the average wind velocity in the CBL derived; resulting dimensionless constants are obtained from LES data. The results of the work allow us to formulate an integral model of the shear KPS suitable for practical use.
