Determination of Heat and Momentum Fluxes Over Baghdad City

Abstract

In this study heat and momentum fluxes have been determined at Al-Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq, by using eddy correlation method. It is one of the methods which determines heat and momentum fluxes and it is considered direct and accurate. This method depends on high response instruments like Ultrasonic Anemometer (model: 1590- PK- 020) which is used in this study. Observation period is about 53 days for 24 hours in months June, July and August from 15/06/2016 to 06//08/2016 and the observations included wind speed and temperature every second. MATLAB program has been used to process huge data to calculate heat and momentum fluxes (H and ). The maximum value of H equals 127.6 Wm-2 in 10:30 at 26/07/2016 and minimum value equals -58.9 Wm-2 in 07:30 at 29/06/2016, as well, the maximum value of equals 0.134535 Nm-2 in 15:00 at 03/08/2016 and minimum value equals -0.4649 Nm-2 in 03:00 at 01/07/2016. It is found that there is an inverse relationship between H and. Also maximum frequency of friction velocity at unstable conditions.

Comparing Turbulence Models for CFD Simulation of UAV Flight in a Wind Tunnel Experiments

“…The coupled method was used to solve the Reynoldsaveraged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS), continuity equation, and energy equation, which represent conservation of momentum (product between a particle's mass and velocity (kg × m/s) (Mehson and Hassoon, 2019), conservation of mass, and conservation of energy (the energy of interacting objects or molecules in a closed system remains constant) (Fattah and et al, 2021), respectively. As well as to solve the three-dimensional equations of turbulent kinetic energy (It is particularly significant in microfluid dynamics since it has a direct bearing on momentum transfer via the boundary layer (Mohammed, 2016) and turbulent dissipation (Thomson, 1971).…”

The Relationship between Vertical Kinematic Eddy Heat Flux, Air Temperature and Turbulent Kinetic Energy in Atmospheric Boundary Layer: Baghdad City

“…On the eastern side of Baghdad in this location, it mostly consists of various roughnesses from 3-meter-tall houses to 30-meter-tall buildings like government offices. Trees and about 80% of buildings surround the study site [2].…”

“…), flux formulas in the atmosphere must be transformed into abstract kinematic forms to become heat flux movement by dividing by the density of moist air. [2] Quantitative amounts are transferred across time and space as a result of fluid movement. It is common knowledge that flow, or fluid movement, consists of two fundamental components: turbulence and rate, and it has been demonstrated that heat is transferred to and from the Earth in the boundary layer, particularly the surface layer, by turbulence [3].…”
