Effect of atmospheric boundary layer stability on the inclination angle of turbulence coherent structures
Tóm tắt
Coherent structures in the atmospheric boundary layer are fundamental to the transport of momentum and heat as well as to the production of turbulence. The present work attempts to investigate the behavior of the inclination angle of the vortex packet structures (
$$\gamma$$
) under different stability conditions. The data were collected from the Marine Ecosystem Research Centre (EKOMAR) site at the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The main measurements were conducted by placing two hotwires 3 and 12 m above ground. The two-point correlation method was used to calculate the vortex packet structure inclination angle, while the one-point correlation method was employed to calculate its length-scale. The inclination angle was found to increase under both stable and unstable conditions. As the Obukhov stability parameter (
$$\zeta$$
) approaches 0, the inclination angle ranged between
$$\gamma = 15^\circ$$
to
$$\gamma = 18^\circ$$
for the stable and unstable conditions, respectively, which agrees with the findings of previous research. The vertical gradient of velocity is the dominant parameter affecting the inclination angle under different stability conditions.
