  2. Richardson number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richardson_Number

    In atmospheric science, several different expressions for the Richardson number are commonly used: the flux Richardson number (which is fundamental), the gradient Richardson number, and the bulk Richardson number. The flux Richardson number is the ratio of buoyant production (or suppression) of turbulence kinetic energy to the production of ...

  3. Bulk Richardson number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_Richardson_number

    The Bulk Richardson Number (BRN) is an approximation of the Gradient Richardson number. [1] The BRN is a dimensionless ratio in meteorology related to the consumption of turbulence divided by the shear production (the generation of turbulence kinetic energy caused by wind shear) of turbulence.

  4. Atmospheric instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_instability

    The Bulk Richardson Number (BRN) is a dimensionless number relating vertical stability and vertical wind shear (generally, stability divided by shear). It represents the ratio of thermally-produced turbulence and turbulence generated by vertical shear. Practically, its value determines whether convection is free or forced.

  5. Turbulence modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbulence_modeling

    SST (Menter's shear stress transport) turbulence model [11] is a widely used and robust two-equation eddy-viscosity turbulence model used in computational fluid dynamics. The model combines the k-omega turbulence model and K-epsilon turbulence model such that the k-omega is used in the inner region of the boundary layer and switches to the k ...

    They produce many model car kits including road cars, sports racing cars, World Rally Championship cars, and Formula One racing cars. Usually these are 1/24 scale although the Formula One kits are 1/20 scale. A few street, racing, and F1 kits are also produced in 1/12 scale including the Ferrari 641/2, McLaren Honda MP4/6, and Williams Renault ...

    Boeing has been mired in crisis all year. The year began with a mid-air panel blowout on a new 737 MAX jet that exposed safety and quality problems; in March, then CEO Dave Calhoun decided to step ...

  8. Ertl Company - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ertl_Company

    In the late 1970s, Ertl offered a series of plastic model kits of heavy commercial trucks, over-the-road trailers, tractors, plows, and farm wagons. Although these kits never achieved the hoped-for popularity, they led to the acquisition of AMT. In 1983, AMT was purchased by Ertl from Lesney, and renamed AMT/Ertl.

  9. Direct numerical simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_numerical_simulation

    Also, direct numerical simulations are useful in the development of turbulence models for practical applications, such as sub-grid scale models for large eddy simulation (LES) and models for methods that solve the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations (RANS). This is done by means of "a priori" tests, in which the input data for the model ...
