Development of roughness models for multiscale topography in neutral and stable atmospheric boundary layers KU Leuven
The research concentrates on the development of next generation multiscale roughness models for the neutral and stable atmospheric boundary layers. The development of such models and new physical insight is based on wind-tunnel experiments (in stable and neutral conditions) and direct numerical simulations (at moderate Reynolds number) of situations including wind veer that cannot be constructed in the wind tunnel. As a first part of the PhD ...
