Topic 21
21. Flux-gradient relations
Learning objectives
- Explain what can we learn from electrical circuits (Ohm’s Law) to describe heat and mass transfer on a land-atmosphere interface.
- Discuss is we can we use the K-Theory introduced for the momentum transfer to relate the gradients of temperature, humidity and trace gas concentrations to fluxes.
- Making the K-Theory useful - Reynold’s analogy (similarity) and aerodynamic approach.
