Numerical models

Numerical computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models are widely used in the simulation of atmospheric flow and turbulence. Therefore it is of interest to investigate also their potential for predicting atmospheric seeing, since, in principle, an accurate computation of the mean seeing effect along a given line of sight is possible if all statistical turbulent quantities of the flow field are known with sufficient accuracy and spatial resolution.
