This collection of research and review papers and short commentaries highlights the latest research in modeling of atmospheric turbulence and applications in fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, and atmospheric and climatology research. Numerical and experimental investigations of fluid dynamics of high speed flows, the determination of aerodynamic forces on sails, large-eddy simulation of free shear and wall-bounded turbulent flows, and a semi-analytic model of fog effects on visions are some areas discussed. Other topics explored include ambient air temperature interpolation in inhomogeneous regions, parameterizing inclined state boundary layers, new trends in phonological modeling, and turbulent scalar transfer modeling in reacting flows.
