Welcome
A symposium on Atmospheric Turbulence and Boundary Layers was held June 24-25, 2010 in honor of Dr. John C. Wyngaard, who recently retired from the teaching faculty in the Department of Meteorology at The Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Wyngaard had a distinguished teaching and research career at Penn State and is a world-renowned leader in the field of atmospheric turbulence.
New book, "Turbulence in the Atmosphere," by John C. Wyngaard
Product Description: Based on his 40+ years of research and
teaching, John Wyngaard's
textbook is an excellent up-to-date introduction to turbulence in the
atmosphere and in engineering flows for advanced students, and a
reference work for researchers in the atmospheric sciences. Part I
introduces the concepts and equations of turbulence. It includes a
rigorous introduction to the principal types of numerical modeling of
turbulent flows. Part II describes turbulence in the atmospheric
boundary layer. Part III covers the foundations of the statistical
representation of turbulence and includes illustrative examples of
stochastic problems that can be solved analytically. The book treats
atmospheric and engineering turbulence in a unified way, gives clear
explanation of the fundamental concepts of modeling turbulence, and has
an up-to-date treatment of turbulence in the atmospheric boundary
layer. Student exercises are included at the ends of chapters, and
worked solutions are available online for use by course instructors.
