Turbulent flows over rough walls
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the experimental evidence on turbulent flows over rough walls and discuss some ideas on how rough walls can be modeled without the detailed computation of the flow around the roughness element.

Turbulent wind flow over a low hill
P. S. Jackson,J. C. R. Hunt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical solution for the flow of an adiabatic turbulent boundary layer on a uniformly rough surface over a two-dimensional hump with small curvature was presented for the limit L/y 0 → ∞ when h/L 2k2/ln(δ/y0) where L and h are the characteristic length and height of the hump, y0 the roughness length of the surface and δ the thickness of the boundary layer.

Sedimentological and fluid-dynamic implications of the turbulent bursting phenomenon in geophysical flows
TL;DR: The bursting process in turbulent boundary layers provides new insight on turbulence phenomena, mechanics of sedimentation, and genesis of bedforms in natural geophysical flows as mentioned in this paper, which can be divided into an inner zone and an outer zone, whose properties scale with the fluid-dynamic variables of the entire flow.

Turbulent flow over hills and waves
Stephen E. Belcher,J. C. R. Hunt +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the mechanisms that control neutrally stable turbulent boundary-layer flow over hills and waves, their relative magnitudes, and how they exert their greatest effects in different regions of the flow can be found in this article.

Experiments on scalar dispersion within a model plant canopy part I: The turbulence structure
TL;DR: In this paper, the dispersion of trace heat from elevated line and plane sources within a model plant canopy in a wind tunnel was investigated, and it was found that the dispersive flux due to spatial correlations between time-averaged streamwise and vertical velocity components (the dispersion flux) was negligible, at heights near and above the top of the canopy.
