Effect of Surface Roughness and Reynolds Number on Self-Similarity of Velocity Profile in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer
-
Abstract
Self-similarity of power law velocity profile of a simulated atmospheric boundary layer is studied experimentally. The results demonstrate that the self-similarity maintains very well along the streamwise direction for the same rough surface but changes significantly with the surface roughness at the
same position. The self-similarity of the vertical velocity profiles is affected by enhancement of the free stream velocity when the roughness concentration is relatively denser. -
