Numerical Simulation of Inertia-Dominated Turbulent Flows Dr. William Anderson May 10, 2018 2:00 pm/NWC 560 Abstract: This talk presents a summary of three active research themes: (1) canonical wall-bounded turbulence and roughness effects; (2) aeolian processes on Earth and Mars; and (3) small-scale mixing in the ocean-mixed layer. On the first: turbulent flows respond to […]

Abstract: Understanding flows within the urban canopy layer is crucial for determining the distribution of particulate matter in urban areas and implications for air quality and human health. While multiple studies have been conducted to understand plume characteristics in urban environments, plume behavior close to point sources (< 1 km) and the effects of buildings and foliage on plume characteristics are not well understood.
