Interaction between turbulent flow and sea breeze front over urban‐like coast in large‐eddy simulation

Turbulent flow and its interaction with a sea breeze front (SBF) over an urban‐like coast with a regular block array were investigated using a building‐resolving computational fluid dynamics model. It was found that during daytime with an offshore ambient flow, streaky turbulent structures tended to...
