There, turbulent mixing is the main vertical transport mechanism for heat, water, momentum and any kind of air constituent. Besides turbulence, the ABL is a multi-physical system comprising also radiative, miro-physical, chemical and other processes on scales from the multi-kilometre range down to the Kolmogorov scale of turbulent motion at the sub-millimetre range in three spatial dimensions. Both the multiphysical complexity and the broad-scale nature are prohibitive for a brute-force approach to numerical modelling of the system. Truncated representations of the ABL are thus inevitable when numerically modeling the ABL.<br \/>\nI will introduce turbulent Ekman flow\u2013the doubly periodic flow over a flat rotating plate\u2014that physically truncates the ABL to its fluid-mechanical core, the Navier\u2013Stokes equations with appropriate boundary conditions. The governing equations are solved by a highly scalable numerical algorithm that is being used on up to 250,000 compute cores to represent the turbulent flow on grids that routinely use 3 \u00d7 230 collocation points in space. The reduced physical complexity allows for high-fidelity turbulence simulations where the entire range of turbulent motion is represented directly\u2013without need for turbulence closure. We can thus study the ABL under conditions for which classical approaches to represent turbulence fail\u2013such as partial or complete laminarization and transitional flows.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, 28 January 2020 at 11.00\u00a0Cedrick Ansorge will talk on the topic \u201cTurbulent Ekman flow as virtual lab in geophysical fluid dynamics\u201d Location:\u00a0 Gyrhofstra\u00dfe 8a (Geb\u00e4ude 158a), Room 1.105 (1st floor), 50931 Cologne Abstract:\u00a0The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mi.uni-koeln.de\/NumSim\/2020\/01\/21\/talk-cedrick-ansorge-institut-fur-geophysik-und-meteorologie-universitat-zu-koln\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mi.uni-koeln.de\/NumSim\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4693"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mi.uni-koeln.de\/NumSim\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mi.uni-koeln.de\/NumSim\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mi.uni-koeln.de\/NumSim\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mi.uni-koeln.de\/NumSim\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4693"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.mi.uni-koeln.de\/NumSim\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4693\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4761,"href":"https:\/\/www.mi.uni-koeln.de\/NumSim\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4693\/revisions\/4761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mi.uni-koeln.de\/NumSim\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mi.uni-koeln.de\/NumSim\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mi.uni-koeln.de\/NumSim\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
