Abstract

Large-eddy simulation (LES) of stably stratified canopy turbulence was discussed. The study found LES a promising tool to investigate weakly stable atmospheres, and stable stratification reduced the scale of turbulence length. When LES was used to investigate stably stratified environments, it was found that the length scale reduction places tremendous reliance on the subgrid model especially near the ground. A term in the Navier-Stokes equation was included to represent the drag imposed by the forest canopy.
