This thesis presents a study of strong stratification and
turbulence collapse in the planetary boundary layer, opening a new
avenue in this field. It is the first work to study all regimes of
stratified turbulence in a unified simulation framework without a
break in the paradigms for representation of turbulence. To date,
advances in our understanding and the parameterization of
turbulence in the stable boundary layer have been hampered by
difficulties simulating the strongly stratified regime, and the
analysis has primarily been based on field measurements. The
content presented here changes that paradigm by demonstrating the
ability of direct numerical simulation to address this problem, and
by doing so to remove the uncertainty of turbulence models from the
analysis. Employing a stably stratified Ekman layer as a simplified
physical model of the stable boundary layer, the three
stratification regimes observed in nature- weakly, intermediately
and strongly stratified-are reproduced, and the data is
subsequently used to answer key, long-standing questions. The main
part of the book is organized in three sections, namely a
comprehensive introduction, numerics, and physics. The thesis ends
with a clear and concise conclusion that distills specific
implications for the study of the stable boundary layer. This
structure emphasizes the physical results, but at the same time
gives relevance to the technical aspects of numerical schemes and
post-processing tools. The selection of the relevant literature
during the introduction, and its use along the work appropriately
combines literature from two research communities: fluid dynamics,
and boundary-layer meteorology.
