ABSTRACT
A combo (Sonic & 2
x
-hot-films or 3D-multisensor probe) setup
for atmospheric turbulence measurements
The fine-scale structure of turbulence is a largely unexplored aspect of the atmospheric boundary layer since it eludes conventional probing techniques. The direct measurement of fine structure using high resolution instruments such as hot-film or hot-wire anemometers that can resolve smallest (dissipation) scales has been rare, given the intricacy of the instruments involved. In the talk, there is a recall to
a feasibility
study conducted by Kit et al. (2010) where a strikingly successful method, the Neural Network (NN) approach was suggested and applied
BIOGRAPHY
Dr
. Kit earned his PhD from Institute of Physics, Latvian Academy of Science, Riga in 1971 in the field of magneto-hydrodynamics. He immigrated to Israel in 1973, and has worked since then for the Coastal and Marine Engineering Research Institute (CAMERI) affiliated with the
Technion
, Technical University of Israel in Haifa.
In 1980 Dr. Kit joined the Department of Fluid Mechanics of Tel Aviv University and has been a Full Professor there since 1995, serving as the Department Head from 1998 until 2002. In 2005
,
Dr. Kit’s main research interests are in the fields of Experimental Fluid Mechanics (turbulence, stratified mixing layer, non-linear water waves) and Coastal Engineering. He has published over 90 papers in journals and more than 100 scientific reports.
Dr. Kit is a frequent
Senior
Research Associate
to Notre
Dame.
