The Schumann and Gerz (1995) stability function


INTERFACE:

   subroutine cmue_sg(nlev)
DESCRIPTION:

This subroutine computes stability functions according to

$\displaystyle c_{\mu}=c_{\mu}^0,\qquad c'_{\mu}=\frac{c_{\mu}^0}{Pr_t}$ (197)

with constant $ c_{\mu}^0$. Based simulation data on stratified homogeneous shear-flows, Schumann and Gerz (1995) proposed the empirical relation for the turbulent Prandtl-number,

$\displaystyle Pr_t = Pr_t^0 \exp\left(-\frac{Ri}{Pr_t^0 Ri^{\infty}}\right) -\frac{Ri}{Ri^{\infty}} \; , \quad$ (198)

where where $ Ri$ is the gradient Richardson-number and $ Pr_t^0$ is the turbulent Prandtl-number for $ Ri \rightarrow 0$. $ Pr_t^0$ and the fixed value $ c_\mu^0$ have to be set in gotmturb.nml. Schumann and Gerz (1995) suggested $ Pr_t^0=0.74$ and $ Ri^{\infty}=0.25$.
