  3. PBL PROPERTIES

  4. Turbulent Boundary Layer (TBL) Fluid is moving with velocity U U TBL Rigid Surface Monin. A.S. and Yaglom, A.M., 1971: Statistical Fluid Mechanics, Vol. 1, Massachussets: MIT Press, 769 pp.

  5. Turbulent Boundary Layer Scales characteristics: δ = vertical extension CLT; ν/u* = length scale; ν = kinematics viscosity of fluid (νar 1.5 m2/s); u* = velocity scale; hi = characteristic length scale for the roughness elements of the surface. Monin and Yaglom, 1971.

  6. Internal and external TBL • The TBL can be divided to layers using as a criteria the source of turbulence • Internal layer (“inner-region”): • Shear is intense and most of the turbulence is produced; • Characteristic length scale is ν/u* ; • External layer (“outer-region”): • Shear is small and production of turbulence is also small; • Characteristic length scale is δ. Raupach, M.R., Antonia, R.A. and Rajagopalan, S., 1991: Rough-wall turbulent boundary layers, Applied Mechanics Reviews, 44, 1-25.

  7. Rough and smooth surfaces A surface is aerodynamically smooth when the vertical extension of roughness elements (hi) are smaller than ν/u*. In this case there is a layer adjacent to the surface where the vertical profile of mean velocity varies linearly with height. It is frequently called viscous sub layer. The region of turbulence production is located in the viscous sub layer (internal or inner layer).

  8. Canonical TBL – Smooth surface • Surface rigid and plane; • Horizontal pressure gradient null; • No thermal stratification (Neutral flow) • Aerodynamically smooth surface • Stationary flow

  9. Canonic TBL Logarithmic profile Linear profile Monin. and Yaglom (1971).

  10. TBL – Rough surfaces Raupach et al., 1991.

  11. Planetary Boundary Layer Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) is the region - adjacent to the surface - where turbulence promotes mixing and most of the exchange of energy, mass and momentum between the surface and atmosphere.
