“…The Appendix gives the flowchart used in the evaluation. The approach boundary layer characteristics for the present tests are approximately the same as those reported by Zoric (1969) and Zoric and Sandborn (1972). These large Reynolds number boundary layers display a definite similarity when the free stream velocity and the boundary layer thickness are employed as characteristic velocities and length.…”

“…These high computational requirements of DNS are especially pronounced for geophysical turbulence. For example, a crude estimate may be obtained considering the Reynolds number Re, which represents the ratio of largest to smallest scales of motion and may reach values of around 10 7 -10 9 in the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers [22,31]. The size of a computational grid for a DNS of 3D turbulence is known to scale as Re 9/4 , which shows that doubling of the Reynolds number increases the computational cost by almost an order of magnitude when accounting also for the time dependence of equations of motion and assuming linear computational complexity (in terms of number of grid cells) of the algorithm.…”

“…In a wind tunnel, however, it is desired to have equilibrium-flow conditi ons so that changes in the turbulence structure are solely due to the surface obstacle. Zoric and Sandborn (1972) w ich govern flow over terrain relate to geometric similarity and similarity of the approach windfi eld . Thes e parameters can be identified by consideration of a few additional independent…”
