Turbulent mixing in a katabatic wind under stable conditions
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the mixing properties of the katabatic flow which develops at night or in winter on the slopes of a valley. An idealized topography is considered, the initial Brunt-Väisälä frequency N0 having a constant value. Large Eddy Simulations with the Advanced Regional...
