Atmospheric Flows
About Atmospheric Flow Research
The atmospheric boundary layer, referring to the lowermost section of the Earth’s atmosphere, is largely influenced by its interactions with earth’s surface. SAFL researchers use laboratory experiments, field campaigns, numerical simulations, and innovative imaging techniques to investigate a wide-range of near-surface processes, including wall turbulence, thermal stability, and applications involving complex terrains.

SAFL team designs flume to support juvenile fish studies
Posted
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) tasked SAFL researchers with the design of a race-track style flume, with the geometry and hydraulic conditions for early life stages of pallid sturgeon, an ancient but endangered fish species which historically inhabited the Missouri and lower Mississippi rivers
