Very stable surface-layer similarity
ID: very-stable-surface-layer-similarity
In local continuously turbulent scaling at , dependence on the distance to the wall disappears at leading order. The velocity profile is linear and the buoyancy frequency is constant. Local energy balance gives and , with positive dissipation requiring . The coefficients depend on a closure, and this regime should not be imposed on fully collapsed turbulence.
