Abstract
An initial attempt of using a LES model with nonlinear parameterization of subgrid-scale variables to simulate atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flow structure under a neutral stratified condition is performed in this research. The mean flow field was obtained. Through changing the boundary conditions and surface conditions, we also study the boundary layer structure within and over a vegetation canopy. The results show that the wind and turbulence profiles are basically consistent with the general boundary layer theories, and the model has strong ability for modeling the vegetation boundary layer.
Key words: LES modeling, nonlinear subgrid-scale parameterization, ABL, vegetation canopy
