THE AERODYNAMICS OF ATMOSPHERIC SHEAR FLOWS

Abstract

The report reviews the purpose, scope and conclusions of the meeting, which was stimulated by the need to coordinate the efforts of atmospheric scientists and aeronautical engineers, through the common language of fluid dynamics, in attacking the basic and applied problems of atmospheric motion near the earth's surface. A list of the papers presented is included, with brief comments on their content and value. One of the main recommendations is for a coordinated field and laboratory study to verify similarity between wind-tunnel generated flow and the corresponding atmospheric shear flow.
