Rossby number similarity of an atmospheric RANS model using limited-length-scale turbulence closures extended to unstable stratification

<p>The design of wind turbines and wind farms can be improved by increasing the accuracy of the inflow models representing the atmospheric boundary layer. In this work we employ one-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations of the idealized atmospheric boundary layer (ABL)...
