These transients occur often due to surface temperature variations (e.g. due to diurnal forcing) that directly influence the near-surface flow by local stratification effects. Relevant dynamical and transport processes occur on a scale of meters near the surface which is a standing challenge for numerical weather and climate prediction. Here we investigate neutral and stably-stratified Ekman flows as a canonical problem for the night-time atmospheric boundary layer over flat terrain. The set-up used consists of an incompressible fluid over a smooth horizontal no-slip wall in a rotating frame of reference. The bulk flow is in geostrophic balance and acts as momentum source. In the case of stable stratification, temperature is prescribed as sudden cooling on a fully-developed turbulent neutrally-stratified Ekman boundary layer. When the stratification is weak, the temperature behaves like a passive scalar, but when it is strong, turbulence may locally disappear. Transient simulations across a relevant range of Reynolds and Froude numbers are made feasible by utilizing the stochastic one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. ODT aims to resolve vertical (wall-normal) transport processes on all relevant scales for a one-dimensional domain. Deterministic molecular diffusion and Coriolis forces are directly resolved, whereas turbulent advection is modeled by a stochastic process. The model obeys several relevant physical principles as, for example, Richardson's 1/4 law of stratified turbulence. Preliminary results suggest that the stand-alone model generally captures Reynolds (turbulence) and Froude number (stratification) effects when stratification is weak. For low Froude number (strong stratification), these results indicate that the model tends to overestimate turbulence effects near the surface unless stratification becomes so strong that near-surface turbulence is energetically prohibited. In the talk, we will address the model formulation and its application to Ekman flow. We will show and discuss model results for surface fluxes, boundary-layer profiles, and corresponding fluctuation statistics. In addition, we will discuss stratification effects and comment on their representation in the model.}, language = {en} } @misc{KleinSchmidtKerstein, author = {Klein, Marten and Schmidt, Heiko and Kerstein, Alan R.}, title = {Transition to the ultimate regime in a stochastic model for radiatively driven turbulent convection}, series = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft - BPCPPDYSOE21}, journal = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft - BPCPPDYSOE21}, language = {en} } @incollection{KleinSchmidt, author = {Klein, Marten and Schmidt, Heiko}, title = {Stochastic Modeling of Passive Scalars in Turbulent Channel Flows: Predictive Capabilities of One-Dimensional Turbulence}, series = {New Results in Numerical and Experimental Fluid Mechanics XIII}, booktitle = {New Results in Numerical and Experimental Fluid Mechanics XIII}, editor = {Dillmann, Andreas and Heller, Gerd and Kr{\"a}mer, Ewald and Wagner, Claus}, publisher = {Springer International Publishing}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-79561-0}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-79561-0_5}, pages = {47 -- 57}, abstract = {Numerical simulations of passive scalars in turbulent channel flows up to friction Reynolds number Reτ = 5200 and Schmidt number Sc = 2000 are performed by utilizing the stochastic one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model as stand-alone tool.

This similarity manifests itself by isomorphic scaling laws for corresponding flow regimes. However, it is not clear at present if this similarity extends to flows with internal sources and different types of boundary conditions. Internal sources may occur, for example, due to radiative heating in dry or condensation in moist convection, or due to internal wave breaking and mean flow excitation in rotating Taylor-Couette-like flows. In this study, heat transfer in radiatively-driven turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection is investigated using the stochastic one-dimensional-turbulence model (ODT). A Boussinesq fluid of Prandtl number 1 is confined between two horizontal adiabatic no-slip walls that are located at z = 0 and H, respectively. The fluid is exposed to constant background gravity that points in vertical (-z) direction. A flow is driven by radiative heating from below yielding the local heating rate Q(z) = (P/l) exp(-z/l), where P is the prescribed mean total heat flux and l the absorption length that controls the thermal boundary layer thickness. ODT resolves all relevant scales of the flow, including molecular-diffusive scales, along a vertical one-dimensional domain, whereas stochastically sampled eddy events represent the effects of turbulent advection. ODT results reproduce and extrapolate available reference experiments of Lepot et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 115, 2018, pp. 8937-8941) and Bouillaut et al. (J. Fluid Mech., 861, 2019, R5) in particular capturing the turbulent transition from the classical to the 'ultimate' regime. For these regimes, the exponent values in N u ∼ Ra^p scaling are found to be p ≈ 0.33 and p ≈ 0.55, respectively, in agreement with measured values. Joint probabilities of turbulent eddy size and location suggest that the regime transition is associated with a suppression of small-scale near-wall turbulent motions. The latter observation is found consistent with recent direct numerical simulations of heat transfer between permeable walls (Kawano et al., J.

This range easily reaches down to less than a meter, which is smaller than the typical height of the first grid cell layer adjacent to the surface in numerical models for weather and climate prediction. In these models, the bulk-surface coupling plays an important role for the evolution of the atmosphere but it is not feasible to fully resolve it in applications. Hence, the overall quality of numerical weather and climate predictions crucially depends on the modeling of subfilter-scale transport processes near the surface. A standing challenge in this regard is the robust but efficient representation of transient and non-Fickian transport such as counter-gradient fluxes that arise from stratification and rotation effects. We address the issues mentioned above by utilizing a stochastic one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. For turbulent boundary layers, ODT aims to resolve the wall-normal transport processes on all relevant scales but only along a single one-dimensional domain (column) that is aligned with the vertical. Molecular diffusion and unbalanced Coriolis forces are directly resolved, whereas effects of turbulent advection and stratification are modeled by stochastically sampled sequence of mapping (eddy) events. Each of these events instantaneously modifies the flow profiles by a permutation of fluid parcels across a selected size interval. The model is of lower order but obeys fundamental conservation principles and Richardson's 1/4 law by construction. In this study, ODT is applied as stand-alone tool in order to investigate nondimensional control parameter dependencies of the scalar and momentum transport in turbulent channel, neutral, and stably-stratified Ekman flows up to (friction) Reynolds number Re = O(104). We demonstrate that ODT is able to capture the state-space statistics of transient surface fluxes as well as the boundary-layer structure and nondimensional control parameter dependencies of low-order flow statistics. Very good to reasonable agreement with available reference data is obtained for various observables using fixed model set-ups.

In this paper, we address this challenge by utilizing a stochastic one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. ODT aims to resolve all relevant scales of a turbulent flow for a one-dimensional domain. Here ODT is applied to turbulent channel flow as stand-alone tool. The ODT domain is a wall-normal line that is aligned with the mean shear. The free model parameters are calibrated once for the turbulent velocity boundary layer at a fixed Reynolds number. After that, we use ODT to investigate the Schmidt (Sc), Reynolds (Re), and Peclet (Pe) number dependence of the scalar boundary-layer structure, turbulent fluctuations, transient surface fluxes, mixing, and transfer to a wall. We demonstrate that the model is able to resolve relevant wall-normal transport processes across the turbulent boundary layer and that it captures state-space statistics of the surface scalar-flux fluctuations. In addition, we show that the predicted mean scalar transfer, which is quantified by the Sherwood (Sh) number, self-consistently reproduces established scaling regimes and asymptotic relations. For high asymptotic Sc and Re, ODT results fall between the Dittus-Boelter, Sh ∼ Re^(4/5) Sc^(2/5), and Colburn, Sh ∼ Re^(4/5) Sc^(1/3), scalings but they are closer to the former.

We first calibrate the adjustable model parameters for neutral cases based on the surface drag law which yields slightly different optimal model set-ups for finite low and moderate Reynolds numbers. For the stably stratified cases, previously calibrated parameters are kept fixed and the model predictions are compared with various reference numerical simulations and also observations by an exploitation of boundary layer similarity. ODT reasonably captures the temporally developing flow for various prescribed stratification profiles, but fails to fully capture the near-surface laminarization by remaining longer in a fully developed turbulent state, which suggests preferential applicability to high-Reynolds-number flow regimes. Nevertheless, the model suggests that large near-surface turbulence scales are primarily affected by the developing stratification due to scale-selective buoyancy damping which agrees with the literature. The variability of the wind-turning angle represented by the ensemble of stratified cases simulated covers a wider range than reference reanalysis data.
