Numerical Simulation of Air Flow over Mountains.

Abstract

The nature of the interaction of atmospheric flow with a mountain range of finite length is investigated. An inviscid, adiabatic primitive equation model is used to simulate steady, vertically-unsheared flow past a mountain range; various cases of mountain height and width are analyzed.
