"A Portable Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) Code for Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Turbulence Simulations"
Large-eddy simulation (LES) is at present the most efficient technique
available for high Reynolds number flow simulations, in which the larger scales
of motion are resolved explicitly and the smaller ones (subgrid-scale) are
modeled. Over the past three decades, the field of LES of the atmospheric
boundary layer (ABL) has evolved quite dramatically. LES has enabled
researchers to probe various boundary layer flows by generating unprecedented
high-resolution four-dimensional turbulence data. As a consequence, we have
gained a better understanding of some of the complex ABL phenomena. During this
presentation, I will introduce a newly developed portable ABL-LES code which
utilizes MatlabMPI.
