This collection holds statistics from direct numerical simulations of turbulent wall-bounded flows which serve as abstraction of the atmospheric boundary layer. The simulations were carried out since 2011 on a variety of supercomputing systems (jugene, juqueen, juwels at Jülich Supercomputing centre, and hawk at Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum Stuttgart) using the tool-suite for turbulence simulation tlab - available on github.
Each item of the collection contains time-series of
The file dns.ini is a plain text file in the format required by the tLab tool-suite. The statistical data are available in self-documented netCDF format with one file holding data correspdoning to the velocity variables (ri{Richardson number}_re{Reynolds number}_{grid}_{timestamp}_avg_all.nc) and one file per each scalar variable holding the scalar statistics (ri{Richardson bulk number}_re{Reynolds number}_{grid}_{timestamp}_avg{scalar-ID}s_all.nc).
Funding: As of 2023, the initiation of this collection, work on the iterms belonging to it has been funded by an ERC Starting Grant (#851374), the DFG Transregional research collaboration #32 (TR32) from 2015-2018, a University of Cologne PostDoc Grant awared to C. Ansorge.
This dataset contains statistics of resolved-turbulence simulation for turbulent Ekman flow, the flow over a flat rotating plate. The five simulation cases differ by the strength of stable density stratification imposed as a Dirichlet boundary condition at the surface, quantified by a Froude and Richardson numbers. Here, cases are labelled by their Froude numbers as fr02, fr05, fr07, fr09, fr18. The choice of Re_Λ = 5 × 10^5 corresponds to an Ekman-based Reynolds-number of 1000 and a friction Reynolds number Re_τ ≈ 1400 for the neutrally stratified case. The turbulent flow is simulated with tLab using a computational grid with dimensions of 3072 x 512 x 6144 and a spatial resolution at the surface of approximately 4.1 × 4.1 × 1.05 wall units. The horizontal domain size is scaled to 1.08 in terms of Rossby radius. This dataset contains a PDF file outlining the simulation setup and description of the variables contained in the netCDF files.

The netCDF file names in the dataset include grid information and the date of creation of the data on the High-Performance Computing (HPC) system. The Reynolds number in this simulation is Re=1000, based on the laminar Ekman layer thickness, the geostrophic wind and kinematic viscosity. The turbulent flow is simulated with tLab using a computational grid with dimensions of 3072 x 656 x 3072 and a spatial resolution at the surface of 2.3 × 1.0 × 2.3 in terms of smooth wall units in the streamwise, wall-normal and span-wise directions respectively.
