Abstract
Numerical and experimental evaluation of the thermally stratified atmospheric boundary layer in wind tunnels
Highlights
The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is the atmospheric region directly affected by the Earth’s surface
The ABL height is variable and it depends on the specific geomorphology, the surface roughness and environment stratification of the region
The study of the atmospheric boundary layer in wind tunnels plays an important role in many engineering applications
Summary
The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is the atmospheric region directly affected by the Earth’s surface. The ABL height is variable and it depends on the specific geomorphology, the surface roughness and environment stratification of the region. The study of the atmospheric boundary layer in wind tunnels plays an important role in many engineering applications. The ABL flow simulation in wind tunnels is applied to environmental studies and the investigation of the basic phenomena occurring in micro-meteorological atmosphere processes (Petersen, 2013). These researches help to solve problems of practical engineering interest, such as pollutant dispersion in complex terrain or urban areas, in which buildings produce different flow patterns (Baouabe et al, 2011).
