Abstract

These are large-eddy simulation (LES) data output from the Simulator for Wind Farm Applications (SOWFA) with internal mesoscale-to-microscale coupling. A diurnal cycle was simulated over the Scaled Wind Farm Technology (SWIFT) facility near Lubbock, Texas, from 2013-11-08 12:00:00 UTC to 2013-11-09 12:00:00 UTC. Indirect profile assimilation was used to enforce nonstationary mesoscale conditions. Mesoscale forcing data were extracted from WRF numerical weather prediction outputs or derived from observations at SWiFT.

Large Eddy Simulation of the Southern Ocean

Dataset Large, William G. ; Patton, Edward G. ; DuVivier, Alice K. ; ...

The data set contains seven Large Eddy Simulations (LES) at the Southern Ocean Flux Site for studies of deep turbulent ocean boundary layers, with and without surface wave effects, and with both idealized and observed forcing by wind, surface buoyancy flux and Stokes drift profiles. There are 20 days of hourly statistics computed every half-hour of turbulence quantities; namely, the vertical fluxes of buoyancy (temperature) and momentum, buoyancy and velocity variances, and the turbulent kinetic energy, its production terms and its dissipation.
Using observational mean-flow data to drive large-eddy simulations of a diurnal cycle at the SWiFT site

Journal Article Allaerts, Dries ; Quon, Eliot ; Churchfield, Matt - Wind Energy

Reproducing realistic date- and site-specific unsteady wind conditions in large-eddy simulations is becoming increasingly useful in wind energy. How to run a large-eddy simulation to match observed conditions, however, remains an open research question. One approach that has received considerable attention is mesoscale-to-microscale coupling, in which information about the mesoscale weather, most commonly acquired from a mesoscale numerical weather model, is passed on to a microscale model. In this paper, we demonstrate how the recently developed profile-assimilation technique, a form of mesoscale-to-microscale coupling, can be used to drive large-eddy simulations solely based on observed mean-flow profiles at a single location,more »« less
EAGLES Liquid Cloud Testbed Large Eddy Simulation Library (v3)

Dataset Kaul, Colleen M ; Pressel, Kyle G ; Shpund, Jacob ; ...

This library consists of large eddy simulation (LES) model output using the PINACLES codebase coupled to the Hebrew University Fast Spectral Bin Microphysics scheme representing shallow, liquid phase clouds from four global liquid cloud testbed regions. This data is particularly suitable for examining interactions among cloud, aerosol, and turbulence in warm, boundary-layer clouds and for developing, assessing and refining parameterizations for coarser-scale models.
EAGLES Liquid Cloud Testbed Large Eddy Simulation Library (v2)

Dataset Kaul, Colleen M ; Pressel, Kyle G ; Huang, Meng ; ...

This library consists of large eddy simulation (LES) model output using the PINACLES codebase coupled to the Hebrew University Fast Spectral Bin Microphysics scheme representing shallow, liquid phase clouds from a range of global liquid cloud testbed regions as well as some well known LES model intercomparison cases. This data is particularly suitable for examining microphysical modeling assumptions in coarser-scale models, and was used for this purpose in the work "“Evaluation of Autoconversion Representation in E3SM.v2 using an Ensemble of Large-Eddy Simulations of Low-Level Warm Clouds” by M. Ovchinnikov, P.-L. Ma, C. M. Kaul, K. G. Pressel, M. Huang, J.more » Shpund, and S. Tang« less
NREL - SOWFA - Neutral - TTU

Dataset Kosovic, Branko

This dataset includes large-eddy simulation (LES) output from a neutrally stratified atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) simulation of observations at the SWIFT tower near Lubbock, Texas on Aug. 17, 2012. The dataset was used to assess LES models for simulation of canonical neutral ABL. The dataset can be used for comparison with other LES and computational fluid dynamics model outputs.
