TEXT(Shallow Sample Cup In Crosswind
TITLE
DISPLAY
A simulation is made of the flow in and around a shallow
open-topped hollow cylinder with a crosswind blowing
across its top, normal to the cylinder axis. The height
of the cup to its radius is 0.4 . This geometry is a design
considered for a sampling cup used for measuring atmospheric
precipitation.
Cylindrical polar coordinates are used in 3 dimensions.
The polar axis points vertically upwards from the ground
surface, and the vertical extent of the domain extends well
beyond the top of the sampling cup. The radial extent of the
domain extends beyond the rim of the cup.
The subroutine GXPOLR called from GREX3 is used to set
boundary conditions at the cylindrical outer surface of the
domain of integration, where a uniform stream of air is
present. This is done in GXPOLR by resolving the inflow
velocity along the radial and tangential directions of the
grid, and fixing the U1 and V1 values at the boundary cells
to these resolutes.

**Inside the cup 10 radial layers of cells are used, and

is employed both sides of the cup wall to ensure adequate
resolution of the flow at the exterior- and interior-side
of the cup wall.
