Turbulence in the
boundary layer - thermal turbulence
In addition to the
mechanically generated turbulence, thermal turbulence is also generated in the boundary layer
Thermal turbulence
is essentially rising thermals of air in the
boundary layer generated by surface heating
Thermal turbulence
is maximum during max surface heating - mid
afternoon
let's now examine the
diurnal variation of the boundary layer and turbulence
generation within the boundary layer
