Project description
A novel fluid mechanics approach to turbulence intermittency
Intermittent behaviour is commonly observed in turbulent fluid flows. Turbulence intermittency challenges traditional geophysical approaches to represent turbulent mixing. Both field observations and current numerical approaches have their limitations, leading to a lack of process-level insight into turbulence intermittency in the atmospheric boundary layer. The EU-funded trainABL project aims to provide the first physically consistent turbulent mixing parameterisation that takes into account the importance of turbulence intermittency, covers the entire vertical range of the atmospheric boundary layer and is valid for all regimes of stratification. It will achieve this by adopting a fluid mechanics approach to the geophysical phenomenon of turbulence intermittency in the atmospheric boundary layer.
