collisionality and the self-similarity of potential fluctuations can be explained in the framework of the HW model. The model describes the spatio-temporal evolution of the density, potential, and vorticity, with a parallel coupling term influenced by the collisionality. In the HW simulations, vorticity fluctuations have been
Many studies have found that mesovortexgenesis is initiated at low levels by tilting, in downdrafts, of crosswise baroclinic horizontal vorticity (Trapp and Weisman 2003 Part II, Wheatley and Trapp 2008, Atkins and St. Laurent 2009 Part II). Additional studies have found that strong low-level updraft is critical in converging and amplifying vertical vorticity associated with the mesovortex (Schenkman et al. 2012, Atkins and St. Laurent 2009). Trapp and Weisman (2003 Part I) also found that the amount
Introduction- Information The Daintree rainforest is one of the oldest, surviving “tropical” rainforests in Queensland, with it being about 165 million years old. The Daintree forest had its name formed by photographer, Richard Daintree. Tropical rainforests will always receive substantial amounts of rain. How big is the Daintree rainforest? With it on the northeast coast of Queensland, it surprisingly measures at around 1200 square kilometres. Environmental Factors: Many environmental factors

and supercell tornadoes. Differences also exist in the formation of mesocyclones and mesovortices. The mid-level mesocyclone forms from tilting and stretching of horizontal vorticity associated with the ambient wind shear and the low-level mesocyclone forms due to tilting and stretching of storm-generated horizontal vorticity associated with the surface outflow (Rotunno and Klemp 1985, Klemp 1987, Davies-Jones 1984). QLCS mesovortices similarly depend on the development of the downdraft and surface
method). Explain briefly the finite difference method used for the problem and tests conducted to demonstrate the accuracy of your solution. Include a printout of your programming code and plots of the steady-state solution of velocity vectors and vorticity for a few different resolutions. Proper adjustment needs to be made to co-locate the grid point (x,y) and the solution variables for plotting purpose. Identify a reasonable way to define the numerical error for various spatial resolutions and
1. The boundary layer is investigated for the situation that fluid is passing through an object, where around the object the layer of boundary is formed. Imagine the circumstance that the aircraft is flying in the sky, the wing is cutting through the air. The boundary layer around the wing could be observed, which is a thin and a highly sheared region. It is the layer that looks random and chaotic but also has structure on it. The Boundary layer is a complex structure, which is classified from Laminar
MM4TTF: Introduction to Turbulence and Turbulent Flows Case Study 1: Turbulent Boundary Layer Structure Turbulent coherent structures are flow patterns that can be distinguished from each other, as opposed to motions such as eddies which are subject to the phenomenon of superpositioning. Several of these occur in the near-wall region: ‘Low speed streaks’ refer to the regions of relatively slow flow spaced out in a pronounced manner. They generally occur ‘between the legs of hairpin vortices, where
(1) The beginning of the bursting process occurs by the wall (y+ >8-12), in this region there are span wise vortices formed by the Sweep event, this will be covered later in the report. Rolls are whole coherent structures that form the stream wise vorticity that causes the low-speed streaks. Low-speed streaks are low speed fluids travelling in a span wise direction and defined as the locus of the points of all fluid particles that have travelled through a specific point in space through time and can
