Numerical and analytical investigations of three-dimensional lee wavesA conceptual framework for the three-dimensional lee wave is given, and the severe limits of mathematical analysis as applied to the problem are described. It is shown that numerical simulation is the only feasible approach and some simulation results are displayed. These results are then compared with those from corresponding simulations of the much more familiar case of two-dimensional flow over a ridge. The problem of predicting in which portions of the lee wave clear air turbulence encounters are most probable is addressed. Here, idealized linear models are employed to establish a few tentative guidelines.
