Abstract

The QNSE model is a new theory of turbulence with stable and weakly unstable stratification. The model explicitly resolves the stratification-induced disparity between the transport processes in the horizontal and vertical directions and accounts for the combined effect of turbulence and waves. The theory predicts
various important characteristics of stably stratified flows, such as the dependence of the vertical turbulent Prandtl number on Froude and Richardson numbers, anisotropization of the flow filed, and decay of vertical diffusivity under strong stratification, all in good agreement with computational and observational data. The theory also yields analytical expressions for various 1D and 3D kinetic and potential energy spectra that reflect the effects of waves and anisotropy. The model’s results are suitable for immediate use in practical
applications. The QNSE-based K-l model and surface layer parameterization have been implemented and tested in numerical weather prediction systems WRF and HIRLAM.
