Illustration of daytime-warm-season boundary layer circulations and Cumulus cloud formation over complex terrain. Current research efforts in mesoscale and boundary-layer dynamics utilize novel ...

This schematic of the planetary boundary layer (red line) shows exchanges of moisture and movement of aerosols that occur between the Earth's surface and this lowest level of the atmosphere.

The study of the processes that lead to the formation, growth, and precipitation of clouds in the boundary layer of the lower atmosphere. Develops models and analyzes observations to understand the ...

This friction is associated with the development of boundary layers, and it scales with Reynolds number as we have seen above. Pressure drag comes from the eddying motions that are set up in the fluid ...

Working with the Applied Physics Group, some of the most recent laser diagnostics for hypersonic flow are being utilized to produce previously unobtainable views of the boundary layer. A "pulse-burst" ...

Shock wave and turbulent boundary layer interactions (SWBLI) are critical phenomena in fluid dynamics, particularly in the context of high-speed flows encountered in aerospace applications.

The Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel in the Hele-Shaw Laboratory within the Faculty of Engineering is a designated National Wind Tunnel Facility, supporting a diverse range of research activities for both ...

B.A. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder, with a minor in Mathematics (2023). Daphne defended an honors thesis on the impacts of offshore wind farms on low-level jets.

A new study questions this scenario. Using groundbreaking empirical measurements of sulfur within the related Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary layer, the international team has demonstrated ...
