Chp 3 Filtered eqs And Turbulence
Why filter eqs? • The governing eqs permit motions on all scales: • Planetary scales: 1000’s of km • Cb’s: 10km • Turbulent eddies:100’s of m • Viscous eddies: 1mm A numerical model cannot cover the entire range of scales
What is turbulence? • Difficult to define but you know it when you see it or feel it. • Turbulent flows have large Reynold’s numbers
