• An Improved Surface Boundary Condition for Large-Eddy Simulations Based on Monin–Obukhov Similarity Theory: Evaluation and Consequences for Grid Convergence in Neutral and Stable Conditions 

      Maronga, Bjørn; Knigge, Christoph; Raasch, Siegfried (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Monin–Obukhov similarity theory is used in large-eddy simulation (LES) models as a surface boundary condition to predict the surface shear stress and scalar fluxes based on the gradients between the surface and the first ...
    • A nested multi-scale system implemented in the large-eddy simulation model PALM model system 6.0 

      Hellsten, Antti; Ketelsen, Klaus; Sühring, Matthias; Auvinen, Mikko; Maronga, Bjørn; Knigge, Christoph; Barmpas, Fotios; Tsegas, George; Moussiopoulos, Nicolas; Raasch, Siegfried (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Large-eddy simulation (LES) provides a physically sound approach to study complex turbulent processes within the atmospheric boundary layer including urban boundary layer flows. However, such flow problems often involve a ...

      In this paper, we describe the PALM model system 6.0. PALM (formerly an abbreviation for Parallelized Large-eddy Simulation Model and now an independent name) is a Fortran-based code and has been applied for studying a ...
