» Clear Air and Optical Turbulence in a Jet Stream in the Airborne Laser Context

clear air and optical turbulence
The Airborne Laser Challenge Project supports the Airborne Laser (ABL) and the associated technology program by performing computer simulations of pertinent optical, clear air turbulence phenomenology and forecasting. The problems addressed include ....

»Turbulence in a Model Tropospheric Jet

topospheric jet model
Environmental flows are replete with situations where shear and stratification coexist. One example of such situation is the region around the tropospheric jet. The focus of our study is to investigate the turbulence which exists in such environment.

Laboratory and Theoretical Study

» Anabatic Flow

Heating of a surface with big inclination will generate anabatic flow (up-slope flow). But what's the smallest angle for slope flow occurrence? The experiment presented here will give you the answer.

» Basin Flow

The two-dimensional laboratory basin was used to study the diurnal evolution of slope flows. The basin was originally designed to mimic the basin configuration that was used in recent numerical studies. The temperature (heat flux) of the basin floor was varied using a computer-controlled chiller.
