277      <p>Usually the mixing length in LES models l<sub>LES</sub>
278depends (as in PALM) on the grid size and is possibly restricted
279further in case of stable stratification and near the lower wall (see
280parameter <a href="#wall_adjustment">wall_adjustment</a>).
281With <b>adjust_mixing_length</b> = <span style="font-style: italic;">.T.</span>
282the Prandtl' mixing length l<sub>PR</sub> = kappa * z/phi is calculated
283and the mixing length actually used in the model is set l = MIN (l<sub>LES</sub>,
284l<sub>PR</sub>). This usually gives a decrease of the mixing length at
285the bottom boundary and considers the fact that eddy sizes
286decrease in the vicinity of the wall.&nbsp; </p>

898is used at the inflow for all quantities (initial vertical profiles -
899see <a href="#initializing_actions">initializing_actions</a>
900- are fixed during the run) except u, to which a Neumann (zero
901gradient) condition is applied. At the outflow, a Neumann (zero
902gradient) condition is used for all quantities except v, which is set

904average_along_y( v(k,:,nx)), and except w, which is set to zero
905(Dirichlet condition). These conditions ensure the velocity field to be
906free of divergence at the inflow and at the outflow. For perturbation
907pressure Neumann (zero gradient) conditions are assumed both at the
908inflow and at the outflow.<br>

930When using non-cyclic lateral boundaries, a filter is applied to the
931velocity field in the vicinity of the outflow in order to suppress any
932reflections of outgoing disturbances (see <a href="#km_damp_max">km_damp_max</a>

955In order to maintain a turbulent state of the flow, it may be
956neccessary to continuously impose perturbations on the horizontal
957velocity field in the vicinity of the inflow throughout the whole run.

1021Using non-cyclic lateral boundaries requires very sensitive adjustments
1022of the inflow (vertical profiles) and the bottom boundary conditions,
1023e.g. a surface heating should not be applied near the inflow boundary
1024because this may significantly disturb the inflow. Please check the
1025model results very carefully.</td>

1198In case of these non-cyclic lateral boundaries, a Dirichlet condition
1199is used at the inflow for all quantities (initial vertical profiles -
1200see <a href="#initializing_actions">initializing_actions</a>
1201- are fixed during the run) except v, to which a Neumann (zero
1202gradient) condition is applied. At the outflow, a Neumann (zero
1203gradient) condition is used for all quantities except u, which is set
1204to its horizontal average along the outflow (e.g. u(k,ny+1,:) =
1205average_along_x( u(k,ny,:)), and except w, which is set to zero
1206(Dirichlet condition). These conditions ensure the velocity field to be
1207free of divergence at the inflow and at the outflow. For perturbation
1208pressure Neumann (zero gradient) conditions are assumed both at the
1209inflow and at the outflow.<br>

6542coordinate
6543system of the model.<br><p>With <b>galilei_transformation</b> = <i>.T.,</i> a so-called
6544Galilei-transformation is switched on which ensures that the coordinate
6545system of the model is moved along with the geostrophical wind.
6546Alternatively, the model domain can be moved along with the averaged
6547horizontal wind (see <a href="#use_ug_for_galilei_tr">use_ug_for_galilei_tr</a>,
6548this can and will naturally change in time). With this method,
6549numerical inaccuracies of the Piascek - Williams - scheme (concerns in
6550particular the momentum advection) are minimized. Beyond that, in the
6551majority of cases the lower relative velocities in the moved system
6552permit a larger time step (<a href="#dt">dt</a>).
6553Switching the transformation on is only worthwhile if the geostrophical
6554wind (ug, vg)
6555and the averaged horizontal wind clearly deviate from the value 0. In
6556each case, the distance the coordinate system has been moved is written
6557to the file <a href="chapter_3.4.html#RUN_CONTROL">RUN_CONTROL</a>.&nbsp;

6736There is no such restriction by default, because then smaller

6738form the right and/or north boundary of the virtual processor grid. On
6739all other processors the subdomains are of same size. Whether smaller
6740subdomains are actually used, depends on the number of processors and
6741the grid point numbers used. Information about the respective settings

7847When using non-cyclic lateral boundaries (see <a href="#bc_lr">bc_lr</a>
7848or <a href="#bc_ns">bc_ns</a>),
7849a smoothing has to be applied to the
7850velocity field in the vicinity of the outflow in order to suppress any
7851reflections of outgoing disturbances. Smoothing is done by increasing
7852the eddy diffusivity along the horizontal direction which is
7853perpendicular to the outflow boundary. Only velocity components
7854parallel to the outflow boundary are filtered (e.g. v and w, if the
7855outflow is along x). Damping is applied from the bottom to the top of
7856the domain.<br>

7879which defines the number of gridpoints (counted from the outflow
7880boundary) from where on the smoothing is applied. Starting from that
7881point, the eddy diffusivity is linearly increased (from zero to its
7882maximum value given by <span style="font-weight: bold;">km_damp_max</span>)
7883until half of the damping range width, from where it remains constant
7884up to the outflow boundary. If at a certain grid point the eddy
7885diffusivity calculated from the flow field is larger than as described
7886above, it is used instead.<br>

8090It is exclusively applied to the tendencies calculated by the

8092and <a href="#scalar_advec">scalar_advec</a>),
8093not to the prognostic variables themselves. At the bottom and top
8094boundary of the model domain the filter effect for vertical
80952-delta-waves is reduced. There, the amplitude of these waves is only
8096reduced by approx. 50%, otherwise by nearly 100%.&nbsp; <br>

8498used
8499(see Mahrer and Pielke,
85001978: Mon. Wea. Rev., 106, 818-830). In opposite to the
8501Piascek-Williams scheme, this is characterized by much better numerical
8502features (less numerical diffusion, better preservation of flow
8503structures, e.g. vortices), but computationally it is much more
8504expensive. In
8505addition, the use of the Euler-timestep scheme is mandatory (<a href="#timestep_scheme">timestep_scheme</a>
8506= <span style="font-style: italic;">'</span><i>euler'</i>), i.e. the
8507timestep accuracy is only of first order.
8508For this reason the advection of scalar variables (see <a href="#scalar_advec">scalar_advec</a>)
8509should then also be carried out with the upstream-spline scheme,
8510because otherwise the scalar variables would
8511be subject to large numerical diffusion due to the upstream
8512scheme.&nbsp; </div>

8533      <p style="margin-left: 40px;">Since the cubic splines used tend
8534to overshoot under

8536filtering and smoothing (see <a href="#cut_spline_overshoot">cut_spline_overshoot</a>,

8538      <a href="#ups_limit_v">ups_limit_v</a>, <a href="#ups_limit_w">ups_limit_w</a>).

8847      <p>For parallel runs, the total number of processors to be used
8848is given by
8849the <span style="font-weight: bold;">mrun</span> option <a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/software/mrun_beschreibung.html#Opt-X">-X</a>.
8850By default, depending on the type of the parallel computer, PALM
8851generates a 1d processor
8852net (domain decomposition along x, <span style="font-weight: bold;">npey</span>
8853= <span style="font-style: italic;">1</span>) or a 2d-net (this is
8854favored on machines with fast communication network). In case of a
88552d-net, it is tried to make it more or less square-shaped. If, for
8856example, 16 processors are assigned (-X 16), a 4 * 4 processor net is
8857generated (<span style="font-weight: bold;">npex</span> = <span style="font-style: italic;">4</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">npey</span>
8858= <span style="font-style: italic;">4</span>).
8859This choice is optimal for square total domains (<a href="#nx">nx</a>
8860= <a href="#ny">ny</a>),
8861since then the number of ghost points at the lateral boundarys of
8862the subdomains is minimal. If <span style="font-weight: bold;">nx</span>
8863nd <span style="font-weight: bold;">ny</span> differ extremely, the
8864processor net should be manually adjusted using adequate values for <span style="font-weight: bold;">npex</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">npey</span>.&nbsp; </p>

8885      <p><b>Important:</b> The value of <span style="font-weight: bold;">npex</span> * <span style="font-weight: bold;">npey</span> must exactly correspond to the
8886value assigned by the <span style="font-weight: bold;">mrun</span>-option

8900Additionally, the specification of <span style="font-weight: bold;">npex</span>

8902override the default setting for the domain decomposition (1d or 2d)
