Large-Eddy Simulation #208: (IBL)
LES RUN #208: This is a continuation of LES#195 with the east-west
periodic boundary condition removed. The model was
simply restarted with the 4650 s history file of LES#195 but
with IBND=2 and DISTIMH=0 to remove east-west periodic and
east-west restoring zones.

In addition to that, this run wrote out the integrated mass
flux over the entire east and west wall for every timestep
in order to evaluate the effect of the open east BC on the
pressure perturbation field. The result is summarized in
the following line-plot. The ratio
west-mass-flux / east-mass-flux is plotted for several levels
in the top panel and integrated over all levels in the bottom
panel. A ratio greater than one indicates more mass is leaving
the domain than entering.
The following is a horizontal slice through the bottom of the model domain
(7.5 m above the surface) over the water only. The output has been folded over once in the
north-south direction to help your eye follow coherent structures across
the domain. This is an east-west subset of the model domain.
The following is an east-west vertical slice through the model domain.
The following is a horizontal slice through the bottom of the model.
The entire area is shown.
