Grid-Resolution Requirements for Large-Eddy Simulations of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer

Large-eddy simulations are widely used to study flows in the atmospheric boundary layer. As atmospheric boundary-layer flows of different atmospheric stratification have very different flow characteristics on different length scales, well-resolved simulations of these flows require very different meshes. The Parallelized Large-Eddy Simulation Model combined with a realizable dynamic subgrid model is used to identify the best method for...
