Generalized Kolmogorov--von Karman relation and some further implications on the magnitude of the constants. [Effects of wind sheer on atmospheric surface boundary layer]
The relation between the Kolmogorov and von Karman constants in the atmospheric surface boundary layer appropriate to the special conditions of neutrally stratified and locally dissipating flow is essentially a straightforward combination of the logarithmic wind profile, the one-dimensional spectral relation for turbulent energy density in the inertial subrange, and a reduced turbulent energy equation that balances the dissipation rate with a mechanical production term alone. The effects of the stability-dependent, dimensionless wind shear, the diabatic wind profile (an integral of the above), on the complete energy equation are discussed.
