Effects of wind on plants

E De Langre - Annu. Rev. Fluid Mech., 2008 - annualreviews.org
This review surveys the large variety of mechanical interactions between wind and plants,
from plant organs to plant systems. These interactions range from leaf flutter to uprooting …

Coherent structures in canopy edge flow: a large-eddy simulation study

S Dupont, Y Brunet - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2009 - cambridge.org
Large coherent structures over vegetation canopies are responsible for a substantial part of
the turbulent transfer of momentum, heat and mass between the canopy and the …

Edge flow and canopy structure: a large-eddy simulation study

S Dupont, Y Brunet - Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 2008 - Springer
Sharp heterogeneities in forest structure, such as edges, are often responsible for wind
damage. In order to better understand the behaviour of turbulent flow through canopy edges …

[HTML][HTML] Flow adjustment inside and around large finite-size wind farms

KL Wu, F Porté-Agel - Energies, 2017 - mdpi.com
In this study, large-eddy simulations are performed to investigate the flow inside and around
large finite-size wind farms in conventionally-neutral atmospheric boundary layers. Special …

Modification of two-equation models to account for plant drag

A Sogachev, O Panferov - Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 2006 - Springer
A modification of the most popular two-equation (E–φ) models, taking into account the plant
drag, is proposed. Here E is the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and φ is any of the following …
