Stochastic Modeling of Intermittent Inflow Turbulence in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer
摘要
Wind turbine predesign is challenged by the representation of site-specific wind conditions. A good deal of that challenge lies in the modeling of the inflow turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). A stochastic one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model is applied to an idealized neutrally stratified ABL and evolves the instantaneous velocity profile with full-scale resolution. The model is able to reproduce the law of the wall consistently after an initial calibration with the surface drag law. Investigating turbulent time series of the horizontal velocity components it is demonstrated that the model generates physically justified intermittency features with increasing turbulence intensity.
