The structure of Kármán vortex streets in the atmospheric boundary layer derived from large eddy simulation

Kármán vortex streets generated in the wake of an idealized island are studied using large eddy simulation (LES). Simulations were carried out under conditions of a dry convective boundary layer, capped by an inversion below the island top. These conditions are more realistic compared to previous st...
