Ein Algebrisches Turbulenzmodel für Ästuare

The density distribution within a fluid is of great importance for flow and transport phenomena in geophysical computational fluid dynamics. All turbulent exchange processes are influenced by buoyancy effects and must be adequately considered in numerical models. Parameterizations of the vertical eddy viscosity and eddy diffusivity are presented...

Development of a Two-Scale Turbulence Model and Its Applications

The use of second order closure turbulence model in predicting turbulent flows is known to be more successful than the classical mixing length model. However, it is found that if the turbulence constants are not altered or modified, the second order closure turbulence model is unable to predict satisfactorily f or some flows such as round jet...

The Turbulent Wave Boundary Layer: A theoretical study

Close to the bottom the no-slip condition will retard the flow and cause a boundary layer to develop. In nature this boundary layer will for most practical purposes be turbulent and the bed will be rough. Usually the boundary layer is confined to a thin layer close to the bed having a typical thickness of 0.2 m under surface gravity waves. The...

Computational Modeling of Turbulent Transport

A rational closure technique is presented for the first and second moment-equations in a stratified, contaminated turbulent flow, Following the application of high Reynolds/Peclet number approximations, remaining third moments are expanded about the isotropic, homogeneous state. The stratified, uncontaminated case reduces to seventeen equations...
