A semi-analytical solution for the mean wind profile in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer: the convective case

A novel methodology to derive the average wind profile from the Navier-Stokes equations is presented. The development employs the Generalized Integral Transform Technique (GITT), which combines series expansions with Integral Transforms. The new approach provides a solution described in terms of the...
