Description of the research topic:
a.) Antecedents: There is an increasing demand for the numerical simulation of atmospheric boundary layer in engineering practice, since its results can be used for the better utilization of wind energy and the enhancement of air quality, furthermore this is the cheapest option for structural wind load analysis. Several studies are dealing with the simulation of the atmospheric boundary layer, but there are only a few, where the effects of the thermal stratification is taken into account. Thus, the comprehensive analysis of arbitrarily stratified boundary layers is still challenging, since the required physical parameterization schemes for micro-scale phenomena are thinly available.
b.) Aim of research: The aim of this research is to develop the required physical parameterization schemes and the methodology of the simulations at micro-scale, namely to substantiate the background of the comprehensive analysis.
c.) Tasks, main items, necessary time:
• Literature survey, 1 semester.
• Implementation of a model able to handle arbitrarily stratified boundary layers, 1 semester.
• Validation of the model, 1 semester.
• Development and implementation of required parametrization schemes, 2 semester.
• Validation of the simulation framework developed in this manner, 1 semester.
• Continuous publication activity, writing the thesis, additional 2 semester.
d.) Required equipment: Computer cluster, workstation computers.
e.) Expected scientific results: The research facilitate the comprehensive numerical analysis of the arbitrarily stratified atmospheric boundary layer, by means of a new model, physical parameterizations and the micro-scale simulation methodology.
