Convective Boundary Layer: A Historical Introduction

摘要: A review is given of early research and concepts on the convective boundary layer, which set stage for all subsequent developments that have been possible via numerical calculations. The historical development proceeded first with inquiries into stationary turbulent layer. Starting from developed aeronautical applications aerodynamics, atmospheric layer was concerned almost exclusively flows. Only in sixties, non-stationarity planetary considered time, results left a number questions open. approaches, are summarized this paper, were only obtaining profiles mean velocity, shear, temperature, heat flux, governed by conservation equations mass, momentum, energy.
