The Numerical Simulation of Thunderstorm Outflow Dynamics (Gust Front, Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability, Wind Shear, Microbursts)
Abstract
dc:descriptionTwo high-resolution, two-dimensional numerical models are developed and used to investigate the dynamics of thunderstorm outflows. The first model employs the set of unapproximated, inviscid, fully compressible hydrodynamical equations, while the second, more economical model is based on a simplified set of inviscid, "quasi-compressible" equations. Neither model includes moist microphysical processes.
