The physics of wind-blown loess: Implications for grain size proxy interpretations in Quaternary paleoclimate studies (2016, background): “In this layer the flow is turbulent (Greeley and Iversen, 1985; Wyngaard, 2010).”
The Explicit Wake Parametrisation V1.0: a wind farm parametrisation in the mesoscale model WRF (2015, background): “(4.29) in Wyngaard (2010) for the dispersion of plumes.”
MicroHH 1.0: a computational fluid dynamics code for direct numerical simulation and large-eddy simulation of atmospheric boundary layer flows (2017, methodology): “This model computes the surface fluxes of the horizontal momentum components and the scalars (including thermodynamic variables) using Monin–Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) (Wyngaard, 2010, his Sect.”
The Fluid Dynamics of Tornadoes (2013, methodology): “Using an open domain similar to a box-shaped version of that shown in Figure 8a, Lewellen et al. (1997) performed an LES study of a tornado-like flow with external parameters set to yield a vortex like that in Figure 9c,d.”
Stably Stratified Atmospheric Boundary Layers (2014, background): “Classical understanding of stably stratified atmospheric boundary layers is well described in a number of textbooks (Garratt 1992, Panofsky & Dutton 1984, Sorbjan 1989, Stull 1988, Wyngaard 2010).”
Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layers and Diurnal Cycles: Challenges for Weather and Climate Models (2013, background): “This so-called turbulence closure is basically unsolvable on a fundamental level and several approaches have been taken in the past (e.g., Wyngaard 2010).”
The Effect of Mesh Resolution on Convective Boundary Layer Statistics and Structures Generated by Large-Eddy Simulation (2011, background): “In other words, the large-eddy Reynolds number Re‘ in LES solutions must be sufficiently large that the resolved flow is in a regime of socalled ‘‘Reynolds number similarity’’ (Townsend 1976; Wyngaard 2010).”
On the Nature of the Transition Between Roll and Cellular Organization in the Convective Boundary Layer (2017, unknown): “Recall that in mixed-layer similarity (e.g. Wyngaard 2010, pp. 241–243) a statistical quantity in the mixed layer of the CBL, normalized by the scales u∗, z, g/Θ0, Q0, and zi is predicted to be a function of the dimensionless height z/zi and the stability parameter−zi/L .”
Boundary-layer development and gravity waves in conventionally neutral wind farms (2017, background): “…extent of the domain, the Boussinesq approximation can still be used as long as the characteristic vertical displacement (of the order of 100 m in our simulations) remains small compared to the density scale height of the atmosphere, which is typically of the order of 10 km (Wyngaard 2010).”
The Critical Richardson Number and Limits of Applicability of Local Similarity Theory in the Stable Boundary Layer (2012, methodology): “averaging operator (e.g., Sorbjan 1989; Garratt 1992; Wyngaard 2010).”
Large-Eddy Simulation of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (2020, methodology): “For further discussion, interested readers may consult the recent reference text, Wyngaard (2010).”
The Minimum Wind Speed for Sustainable Turbulence in the Nocturnal Boundary Layer (2012, background): “In this rationale, the maximum sustainable heat flux must be proportional to this maximum ‘‘multiplied’’ by the kinetic energy production, which ultimately is generated by the work done by the pressure gradient (cf. Wyngaard 2010, p. 285).”
Effects of Surface Exchange Coefficients and Turbulence Length Scales on the Intensity and Structure of Numerically Simulated Hurricanes (2012, background): “This positive bias in zmax might be related to the use of a constant value of ly in these simulations; it is widely acknowledged in studies of boundary layers that ly should be smaller near the surface than near the top of the boundary layer (e.g., Wyngaard 2010, p. 234).”
