  2. Lee wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_wave

    A fluid dynamics lab experiment illustrates flow past a mountain-shaped obstacle. Downstream wave crests radiate upwards with their group velocity pointing about 45° from horizontal. A downslope jet can be seen in the lee of the mountain, an area of lower pressure, enhanced turbulence, and periodic vertical displacement of fluid parcels.

    Data from turbulence prediction website Turbli, which has analysed around 150,000 routes, shows the most turbulent journeys of 2023. Routes are ranked according to “eddy dissipation rate ...

  4. Wave turbulence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_turbulence

    Two generic types of wave turbulence should be distinguished: statistical wave turbulence (SWT) and discrete wave turbulence (DWT). In SWT theory exact and quasi-resonances are omitted, which allows using some statistical assumptions and describing the wave system by kinetic equations and their stationary solutions – the approach developed by Vladimir E. Zakharov.

    Mountain wave turbulence, as the name suggests, happens when the wind hits a mountain and is forced upward off its blustery path. That's why it's common to hit some bumps when you're flying over ...

  6. Mountain Wave Project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Wave_Project

    The Mountain Wave Project (MWP) pursues global scientific research of gravity waves and associated turbulence. MWP seeks to develop new scientific insights and knowledge through high altitude and record seeking glider flights with the goal of increasing overall flight safety and improving pilot training.

  8. Clear-air turbulence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear-air_turbulence

    Wind flow over a mountain produces oscillations (A), (B) etc. Mountain waves are formed when four requirements are met. When these factors coincide with jet streams, CAT can occur: A mountain range, not an isolated mountain; Strong perpendicular wind; Wind direction maintained with altitude; Temperature inversion at the top of the mountain range
