v4 v5 1 [[NoteBox(warn,This site is currently under construction!)]]2 3 1 = Lagrangian particle model (LPM) = 4 2 … … 132 130 == Boundary conditions and release of particles == 133 131 132 Different boundary conditions can be used for particles. They can be either reflected or absorbed at the surface and top of the model. The 133 lateral boundary conditions for particles can either be set to absorption or cyclic conditions. 134 135 The user can explicitly prescribe the release location and events as well as the maximum lifetime of each particle. Moreover, the embedded 136 LPM provides an option for defining different groups of particles. For each group the horizontal and vertical extension of the particle source volumes as well as the spatial distance between the released particles can be prescribed individually for each source area. In this 137 way it is possible to study the dispersion of particles from different source areas simultaneously. 138 134 139 == Recent applications == 140 141 The embedded LPM has been recently applied for the evaluation of footprint models over homogeneous and heterogeneous terrain ([#steinfeld2008 Steinfeld et al., 2008]; [#markkanen2009 Markkanen et al., 2009], [#markkanen2010 2010]; [#suehring2014 Sühring et al., 2014]). For example, [#steinfeld2008 Steinfeld et al. (2008)] calculated vertical profiles of crosswind-integrated particle concentrations for continuous point sources and found good agreement with the convective tank experiments of [#willis1976 Willis and Deardorff (1976)], as well as with LES results presented by [#weil2004 Weil et al. (2004)]. Moreover, [#steinfeld2008 Steinfeld et al. (2008)] calculated footprints for turbulence measurements and showed the benefit of the embedded LPM for footprint prediction compared to Lagrangian dispersion models with fully parametrized turbulence. [#noh2006 Noh et al. (2006)] used the LPM to study the sedimentation of inertial particles in the OML. Moreover, the LPM has been used for visualizing urban canopy flows as well as dust-devil-like vortices ([#raasch2011 Raasch and Franke, 2011]). 142 135 143 136 144 == References == … … 145 153 * [=#rodean1996] '''Rodean HC.''' 1996.
