Illustration of daytime-warm-season boundary layer circulations and Cumulus cloud formation over complex terrain. Current research efforts in mesoscale and boundary-layer dynamics utilize novel ...

This is called the no-slip condition. Figure 7. Velocity profile in a boundary layer. The most powerful consequence of the no-slip condition is the appearance of strong velocity gradients near the ...

The Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel in the Hele-Shaw Laboratory within the Faculty of Engineering is a designated National Wind Tunnel Facility, supporting a diverse range of research activities for both ...

Frictional drag comes from friction between the fluid and the surfaces over which it is flowing. This friction is associated with the development of boundary layers, and it scales with Reynolds number ...

Scientists found that the inner core’s structure changes as it rotates. It deforms at its border, potentially accumulating more material in some areas and less in others — almost like creating hills ...

The study of the processes that lead to the formation, growth, and precipitation of clouds in the boundary layer of the lower atmosphere. Develops models and analyzes observations to understand the ...

B.A. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder, with a minor in Mathematics (2023). Daphne defended an honors thesis on the impacts of offshore wind farms on low-level jets.

Shock wave and turbulent boundary layer interactions (SWBLI) are critical phenomena in fluid dynamics, particularly in the context of high-speed flows encountered in aerospace applications.

This schematic of the planetary boundary layer (red line) shows exchanges of moisture and movement of aerosols that occur between the Earth's surface and this lowest level of the atmosphere.
