 33.2.4.1 Richardson number
Instead of averaging Richardson numbers, another way is to compute Richardson numbers, viscosity, and diffusivity coefficients at the base of U-cells and then average the diffusivity coefficients onto T-cells.
Two other approaches are as follows: The first involves computing Richardson numbers at the base of T-cells, averaging to the base of U-cells, then computing mixing coefficients at the base of T-cells and U-cells.
The second involves computing Richardson numbers at the base of T-cells, computing both mixing coefficients at the base of T-cells, and then averaging the viscosity coefficients onto U-cells.

 Lewis Fry Richardson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richardson's interest in meteorology led him to propose a scheme for weather forecasting by solution of differential equations, the method used today, though, when he published Weather Prediction by Numerical Process in 1922, suitable fast computing was unavailable.
Richardson also applied his mathematical skills in the service of his pacifist principles, in particular in understanding the roots of international conflict.
Considering the armament of two nations, Richardson posited an idealized system of equations whereby the rate of a nation's armament build-up is directly proportional to the amount of arms its rival has and also to the grievances felt toward the rival, and negatively proportional to the amount of arms it already has itself.

Richardson's computers are not the silicon chip machines of today but humans using slide rules and tables to undertake the task of making calculations for a weather forecast.
Richardson's dream did not come to reality until the 64,000 humans were replaced by fast electronic computers in the later half of the Twentieth Century.
Richardson's initial calculations in the rest billets and hay barns of wartime France, he admits, took the best part of six weeks to draw up the computing forms and work out the distribution for two vertical columns.

 Richardson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Richardson was a scientist who was the first to apply mathematics, in particular the method of finite differences, to predicting the weather in Weather Prediction by Numerical Process (1922).
Another application of mathematics by Richardson was in his study of the causes of war in Generalized Foreign Politics (1939), Arms and Insecurity (1949), and Statistics of Deadly Quarrels (1950).
The 'Richardson number', a fundamental quantity involving gradients of temperature and wind velocity is named after him.

The GSM also calculates the Richardson number to indicate the presence of turbulence, using it to determine the stability of a level of the atmosphere.
The Richardson number is similar to the bulk-Richardson number and is the ratio of buoyant suppression of turbulence to the shear generation of turbulence.

 Richardson Numbers
The Richardson classification system, which is unique to Princeton, was devised by Ernest Cushing Richardson, a University Librarian from 1890 to 1920.
Added volumes to serial and bookset records that were originally classed in Richardson, as well as titles in monographic series classed as a set (CAS) in a Richardson number.
Richardson numbers consist of a class number (which may include decimal numbers) and a book number.

 Weather, War, and Mathematics
The Richardson “deferred approach to the limit,” i.e., a method for the acceleration of convergence, is fundamental and widely employed.
It is ironic that although Richardson undertook his studies in the hope that a mathematical understanding of the causes and dynamics of war would lead to an abatement of aggression, he came to the opposite conclusion: War is a permanent feature of the human condition.
Richardson’s legacy is visible in many numerical strategies, in “Prairie Warrior,” the annual $7 million exercise of war games at Fort Leavenworth (Atlantic Monthly, September 1996), and in the activities of any center of meteorology and oceanography.

 Richardson on the National Ignition Facility: "Back on Track"
Secretary Richardson was not a happy man earlier this year when he told Members of Congress that "I have been very concerned about the management of this facility.
I don't want this to ever happen again." Richardson was referring to then recently revealed reports of significantly higher construction costs and a later completion date than planned.
The degree to which this confidence has been restored will be known within days with the release of the conference report on the FY 2001 Energy and Water Development Appropriations bill.

Lewis Fry Richardson (1881-1953) made numerous, outstanding scientific contributions to geophysics but been recognized, perhaps his main contribution asone of the founding fathers of the idea of scaling and fractality (made famous by Benoit Mandelbrot) has still not received the attention it deserves.
For Richardson was the first not only to suggest numerical integration of the equations of motion of the atmosphere, but also to attempt to do so by hand, during the First World War.
This led to the Richardson law of turbulent diffusion (1926), suggesting that particles trajectories might not be describable by smooth curves (what Menger called "fluents"), but that such trajectories might instead require highly convoluted curves such as the Peano or Weierstrass nondifferentiable curves (Menger's "tremblants") for their description.

Near the radius at which the azimuthal velocity profile of the vortex is a maximum, the effective Richardson number in Bradshaw’s analogy becomes arbitrarily large.
The model further defines a new fundamental parameter, the vortex persistence, to be the number of times a vortex rotates during the time interval during which it moves a distance equal to its own diameter with respect to the interface.
For simplicity, the Schmidt number is assumed to be greater than unity, and the interface is thin.

 Powder snow avalanches: Approximation as non-Boussinesq clouds with a Richardson number–dependent entrainment ...
A number of theoretical models have assumed that the volume growth rate of such currents is controlled by the local slope and the density ratio between the current and the ambient fluid.
The model predictions were compared to laboratory experiments (release of a finite volume down an inclined channel, with particle entrainment from the bed) and field data (a well-documented large powder snow avalanche in Switzerland).
In both cases, the assumption of a slope-dependent volume growth rate received little support, whereas assuming that the entrainment coefficient is controlled by the Richardson number makes it possible to describe the velocity and volume variations fairly well, except for highly concentrated particle-driven currents in the laboratory.

 Froude number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Froude number is a dimensionless number used to quantify the resistance of an object moving through water, and compare objects of different sizes.
Named after William Froude, the Froude number is based on the speed/length ratio discovered by Froude, and on which the Froude number is based.
