Atmospheric flow over complex terrain, particularly recirculation flows, greatly influences wind-turbine siting, forest-fire behaviour, and trace-gas and pollutant dispersion. However, there is a large uncertainty in the simulation of flow over complex topography, which is attributable to the type of turbulence model, the subgrid-scale (SGS) turbulence parametrization, terrain-following coordinates, and numerical errors in finite-difference methods. Here, we upgrade the large-eddy simulation module within the Weather Research and Forecasting model by incorporating the immersed-boundary method into the module to improve simulations of the flow and recirculation over complex terrain. Simulations over the Bolund Hill indicate improved mean absolute speed-up errors with respect to previous studies, as well an improved simulation of the recirculation zone behind the escarpment of the hill. With regard to the SGS parametrization, the Lagrangian-averaged scale-dependent Smagorinsky model performs better than the classic Smagorinsky model in reproducing both velocity and turbulent kinetic energy. A finer grid resolution also improves the strength of the recirculation in flow simulations, with a higher horizontal grid resolution improving simulations just behind the escarpment, and a higher vertical grid resolution improving results on the lee side of the hill. Our modelling approach has broad applications for the simulation of atmospheric flows over complex topography. 相似文献

We present an immersed-boundary method to simulate high-Reynolds-number turbulent flow over the complex terrain of Askervein and Bolund Hills under neutrally-stratified conditions. We reconstruct both the velocity and the eddy-viscosity fields in the terrain-normal direction to produce turbulent stresses as would be expected from the application of a surface-parametrization scheme based on Monin–Obukhov similarity theory. We find that it is essential to be consistent in the underlying assumptions for the velocity reconstruction and the eddy-viscosity relation to produce good results. To this end, we reconstruct the tangential component of the velocity field using a logarithmic velocity profile and adopt the mixing-length model in the near-surface turbulence model. We use a linear interpolation to reconstruct the normal component of the velocity to enforce the impermeability condition. Our approach works well for both the Askervein and Bolund Hills when the flow is attached to the surface, but shows slight disagreement in regions of flow recirculation, despite capturing the flow reversal. 相似文献

A Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Wind-Turbine Wakes: Boundary-Layer Turbulence Effects 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Wind-tunnel experiments were performed to study turbulence in the wake of a model wind turbine placed in a boundary layer
developed over rough and smooth surfaces. Hot-wire anemometry was used to characterize the cross-sectional distribution of
mean velocity, turbulence intensity and kinematic shear stress at different locations downwind of the turbine for both surface
roughness cases. Special emphasis was placed on the spatial distribution of the velocity deficit and the turbulence intensity,
which are important factors affecting turbine power generation and fatigue loads in wind energy parks. Non-axisymmetric behaviour
of the wake is observed over both roughness types in response to the non-uniform incoming boundary-layer flow and the effect
of the surface. Nonetheless, the velocity deficit with respect to the incoming velocity profile is nearly axisymmetric, except
near the ground in the far wake where the wake interacts with the surface. It is found that the wind turbine induces a large
enhancement of turbulence levels (positive added turbulence intensity) in the upper part of the wake. This is due to the effect
of relatively large velocity fluctuations associated with helicoidal tip vortices near the wake edge, where the mean shear
is strong. In the lower part of the wake, the mean shear and turbulence intensity are reduced with respect to the incoming
flow. The non-axisymmetry of the turbulence intensity distribution of the wake is found to be stronger over the rough surface,
where the incoming flow is less uniform at the turbine level. In the far wake the added turbulent intensity, its positive
and negative contributions and its local maximum decay as a power law of downwind distance (with an exponent ranging from
−0.3 to −0.5 for the rough surface, and with a wider variation for the smooth surface). Nevertheless, the effect of the turbine
on the velocity defect and added turbulence intensity is not negligible even in the very far wake, at a distance of fifteen
times the rotor diameter. 相似文献

Flow over the summit of an isolated hill 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
P. J. Mason 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1986,37(4):385-405
Observations of the mean flow and turbulence statistics over the summit of an isolated, roughly circular hill, Nyland hill, are presented, Nyland hill rises 70 m above the surrounding terrain and has a base diameter of about 500 m. The summit of the hill is very smooth and allows representative measurements to be made close to the surface. The flow speed 8 m above the summit is increased by a factor of 2 over the upstream speed 8 m above level terrain, and flow separation occurs in the lee of the hill. The mean velocity profile over the summit shows an increase in velocity with height up to about 2 m and then a near constant velocity between 2 and 16 m. The flow perturbation relative to the upstream profile is thus a maximum at about 2 m. The measurements of turbulence structure show how the influence of the hill depends on the length scale of the turbulent eddies involved. Scales greater than the scale of the hill are modified through the flow speed-up whilst scales shorter than the hill suffer complex changes. The short-scale turbulence over the summit is only in local equilibrium in the lowest fraction of a metre. Above this equilibrium region, there is a complex adjustment towards the rapid distortion dynamics which appear to dominate at heights above about 8 m. The detailed results are compared with previous studies and available theories. 相似文献

Canopy turbulence plays an important role in mass and energy exchanges at the canopy-atmosphere interface. Despite extensive studies on canopy turbulence over a flat terrain, less attention has been given to canopy turbulence in a complex terrain. The purpose of this study is to scrutinize characteristics of canopy turbulence in roughness sublayer over a hilly forest terrain. We investigated basic turbulence statistics, conditionally sampled statistics, and turbulence spectrum in terms of different atmospheric stabilities, wind direction and vertical structures of momentum fluxes. Similarly to canopy turbulence over a homogeneous terrain, turbulence statistics showed coherent structure. Both quadrant and spectrum analysis corroborated the role of intermittent and energetic eddies with length scale of the order of canopy height, regardless of wind direction except for shift of peak in vertical wind spectrum to relatively high frequency in the down-valley wind. However, the magnitude of the momentum correlation coefficient in a neutral condition was smaller than typical value over a flat terrain. Further scrutiny manifested that, in the up-valley flow, temperature skewness was larger and the contribution of ejection to both momentum and heat fluxes was larger compared to the downvalley flow, indicating that thermal instability and weaker wind shear in up-valley flow asymmetrically affect turbulent transport within the canopy. 相似文献

A deep understanding of turbulence structure is important for investigating the characteristics of the atmospheric boundary layer, especially over heterogeneous terrain. In the present study, turbulence intensity and turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) parameters are analyzed for different conditions with respect to stability, wind direction and wind speed over a valley region of the Loess Plateau of China during December 2003 and January 2004. The purpose of the study is to examine whether the observed turbulence intensity and TKE parameters satisfy Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (MOST), and analyze the wind shear effect on, and thermal buoyancy function of, the TKE, despite the terrain heterogeneity. The results demonstrate that the normalized intensity of turbulence follows MOST for all stability in the horizontal and vertical directions, as well as the normalized TKE in the horizontal direction. The shear effect of the wind speed in the Loess Plateau region is strong in winter and could enhance turbulence for all stability conditions. During daytime, the buoyancy and shear effect together constitute the generation of TKE under unstable conditions. At night, the contribution of buoyancy to TKE is relatively small, and mechanical shearing is the main production form of turbulence. 相似文献

The nonlinear version of the mixed spectral finite difference model of atmospheric boundary-layer flow over topography is
reviewed. The relations between the stability of the iteration scheme and its relaxation parameter are discussed. Suitable
choice of the relaxation factor improves the computational stability on terrain with maximum slope up to 0.5 or 0.6 in certain
circumstances. Examples of relatively high slope terrain are used to test the stability. A two-dimensional version of the
model is considered. More detailed simulations are studied and analyzed for a comparison with wind-tunnel flow over periodic
sinusoidal surfaces. An application on real topography is given for Bolund hill in Roskilde, Denmark. 相似文献

The effect of topographical slope angle and atmospheric stratification on turbulence intensities in the unstably stratified surface layer have been parameterized using observations obtained from a three-dimensional sonic anemometer installed at 8 m height above the ground at the Seoul National University (SNU) campus site in Korea for the years 1999–2001. Winds obtained from the sonic anemometer are analyzed according to the mean wind direction, since the topographical slope angle changes significantly along the azimuthal direction. The effects of the topographical slope angle and atmospheric stratification on surface-layer turbulence intensity are examined with these data. It is found that both the friction velocity and the variance for each component of wind normalized by the mean wind speed decrease with increase of the topographical slope angle, having a maximum decreasing rate at very unstable stratification. The decreasing rate of the normalized friction velocity (u
* /U) is found to be much larger than that of the turbulence intensity of each wind component due to the reduction of wind shear with increase in slope angle under unstable stratification. The decreasing rate of the w component of turbulence intensity (σ
w
/U) is the smallest over the downslope surface whereas that of the u component (σ
u
/U) has a minimum over the upslope surface. Consequently, σ
w
/u
* has a maximum increasing rate with increase in slope angle for the downslope wind, whereas σ
u
/u
* has its maximum for the upslope wind. The sloping terrain is found to reduce both the friction velocity and turbulence intensity compared with those on a flat surface. However, the reduction of the friction velocity over the sloping terrain is larger than that of the turbulence intensity, thereby enhancing the turbulence intensity normalized by the friction velocity over sloping terrain compared with that over a flat surface. 相似文献

三维非静力E—ε闭合模式对山体流场及浓度分布的模拟 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
本文采用三维非静力E-ε闭合模式,在对流层边界层方程组中,加入湍能和耗散率方程描述边界层中的湍流运动。求解孤立三维山地地形上的流场、湍流场和浓度场,并分析地形对气流的影响及对污染物浓度分布的影响。同时做了不同坡度和不同风速下的孤立三维山体的流场、湍流场和浓度场比较。数值计算结果表明,地形能改变气流运动,气流过山时将出现分支现象,山后背坡有反向回流出现,并且回流区大小随着山体坡度的增大而增大。山体对气流的阻挡作用随山体高度的增加而更明显,随风速的增加而减弱。湍能及耗散率随高度衰减较快。随着山体坡度增加,山前气流的垂直速度也增加,湍流运动更强。风速大时湍流运动越显著。污染物在山前出现辐散,迎风坡是浓度高值区,山后背风坡也是相对高值区。山坡度越大,山前迎风坡污物浓度越高。 相似文献

An investigation into high Reynolds number turbulent flow over a ridge top in New Zealand is described based on high-resolution
in-situ measurements, using ultrasonic anemometers for two separate locations on the same ridge with differing upwind terrain
complexity. Twelve 5-h periods during neutrally stratified and weakly stable atmospheric conditions with strong wind speeds
were sampled at 20 Hz. Large (and small) turbulent length scales were recorded for both vertical and longitudinal velocity
components in the range of 7–23 m (0.7–3.3 m) for the vertical direction and 628–1111 m (10.5–14.5 m) for the longitudinal
direction. Large-scale eddy sizes scaled to the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) numerical model simulated boundary-layer
thickness for both sites, while small-scale turbulent features were a function of the complexity of the upwind terrain. Evidence
of a multi-scale turbulent structure was obtained at the more complex terrain site, while an assessment of the three-dimensional
isotropy assumption in the inertial subrange of the spectrum showed anisotropic turbulence at the less complex site and evidence
of isotropic turbulence at the more complex site, with a spectral ratio convergence deviating from the 4/3 or unity values
suggested by previous theory and practice. Existing neutral spectral models can represent locations along the ridge top with
simple upwind complexity, especially for the vertical wind spectra, but sites with more orographic complexity and strong vertical
wind speeds are often poorly represented using these models. Measured spectra for the two sites exhibited no significant diurnal
variation and very similar large-scale and small-scale turbulent length scales for each site, but the turbulence energy measured
by the variances revealed a strong diurnal difference. 相似文献

Simulation of local atmospheric flows around complex topography is important for several applications in wind energy (short-term wind forecasting and turbine siting and control), local weather prediction in mountainous regions and avalanche risk assessment. However, atmospheric simulation around steep mountain topography remains challenging, and a number of different approaches are used to represent such topography in numerical models. The immersed boundary method (IBM) is particularly well-suited for efficient and numerically stable simulation of flow around steep terrain. It uses a homogenous grid and permits a fast meshing of the topography. Here, we use the IBM in conjunction with a large-eddy simulation (LES) and test it against two unique datasets. In the first comparison, the LES is used to reproduce experimental results from a wind-tunnel study of a smooth three-dimensional hill. In the second comparison, we simulate the wind field around the Bolund Hill, Denmark, and make direct comparisons with field measurements. Both cases show good agreement between the simulation results and the experimental data, with the largest disagreement observed near the surface. The source of error is investigated by performing additional simulations with a variety of spatial resolutions and surface roughness properties. 相似文献

The Effects of Building Representation and Clustering in Large-Eddy Simulations of Flows in Urban Canopies 总被引：3，自引：3，他引：0

We perform large-eddy simulations of neutral atmospheric boundary-layer flow over a cluster of buildings surrounded by relatively
flat terrain. The first investigated question is the effect of the level of building detail that can be included in the numerical
model, a topic not yet addressed by any previous study. The simplest representation is found to give similar results to more
refined representations for the mean flow, but not for turbulence. The wind direction on the other hand is found to be important
for both mean and turbulent parameters. As many suburban areas are characterised by the clustering of buildings and homes
into small areas separated by surfaces of lower roughness, we look at the adjustment of the atmospheric surface layer as it
flows from the smoother terrain to the built-up area. This transition has unexpected impacts on the flow; mainly, a zone of
global backscatter (energy transfer from the turbulent eddies to the mean flow) is found at the upstream edge of the built-up
area. 相似文献

Observations of Boundary-Layer Wind-Tunnel Flow over Isolated Ridges of Varying Steepness and Roughness 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：2
Boundary-layer wind-tunnel flow is measured over isolated ridges of varyingsteepness and roughness. The steepness/roughness
parameter space is chosento produce flows that range from fully attached to strongly separated. Measurementsshow that maximum
speedup at the hill crest is significantly lower than predictedby linear theory and that recovery in the lee of the hill is
much slower for stronglyseparated flow over steep terrain. The measurements also show that behaviour ofthe mean and turbulent
components of the flow on the downwind side of the ridgeis fundamentally different between separated and non-separated flows.
This suggeststhe dominance of much increased turbulence time and length scales in the lee of thehill in association with a
production mechanism that scales with the hill length ratherthan the proximity to the surface as on the windward side of the
hill crest. 相似文献

An analysis of wind tunnel data of dispersion from elevated point sources over a flat floor and gently sloping, 2-D hills is performed. (The data were obtained by Khurshudyan et al., 1981.) Formulas for the mixing lengths and the Lagrangian time scales are tested, suitable for use in various dispersion models. Some expressions for the vertical first moments of the plume concentration distribution suitable for shear flow (Hunt, 1985) are also tested.Then, a normalization is suggested, based on the source mean flow and turbulence parameters, for the ground-level concentration maximum value and position along the plume centerline. Using this normalization, the maximum position is almost constant, regardless of source height variation and of whether the hill is present or not, at least for source positions upstream or over the top.The maximum values allow the determination of normalized terrain amplification factors TAFN, which are shown to be in most cases closer to one than the corresponding TAF obtained without normalization. 相似文献

通过对台风莫拉克 (0908) 影响范围内的33座测风塔观测资料的分析可知:台风莫拉克越靠近陆地,风场的非对称性越明显,其行进方向的左侧测风塔风向呈逆时针旋转,右侧测风塔风向顺时针旋转。在远离台风莫拉克的地方风向稳定,湍流强度变化较平稳;在台风莫拉克登陆点附近,风向、风速和湍流强度均会出现突变。台风莫拉克影响期间,湍流强度与风速的关系未出现IEC标准曲线那样随风速增大稳定减小,其I15达B级和A级及以上的平均湍流强度会在风速7~17 m·s-1形成一个峰值;无论南风或北风,风速越大,各层湍流强度差异趋于减小,同等风速、高度的湍流强度偏南大风均大于偏北大风。位于台风莫拉克登陆点北侧测风塔湍流强度随风速的增加先减小后增大,最终各高度全部超过IEC标准A级曲线,而位于南侧测风塔湍流强度随风速的变化比北侧小,并随风速增大趋于标准A级曲线;另外北侧测风塔湍流强度大于南侧,且各高度偏北大风湍流强度之间的差异比南侧相应风向明显,表明北侧垂直方向的扰动更强。台风莫拉克阵风系数为1.2~1.7,其随高度变化与地形有关,一般情况下随高度升高而减小,在复杂地形条件下不符合随高度升高减小的规律。 相似文献

Turbulence Intensity Parameters over a Very Complex Terrain 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

Detailed knowledge of turbulence structure is important for the understanding of atmospheric phenomena in the boundary layer,
especially over complex terrain. In the present study, turbulence intensity parameters are analyzed for different conditions
regarding stability, wind speed and wind direction over a mountainous region. The purpose of the analysis is to verify whether
the observed parameters follow Monin–Obukhov similarity theory (MOST), despite the terrain heterogeneity. The dataset was
collected during an experimental campaign at the Nova Roma do Sul site, in southern Brazil, with a micrometeorological tower
located near a sharp slope, approximately 400 m high. The results show that the normalized standard deviations of the vertical
velocity component as well as the normalized standard deviation of temperature follow Monin–Obukhov similarity for all stability
regimes, regardless of the wind direction. However the normalized standard deviation of the horizontal components of the turbulent
velocity obeys the similarity relationship only for a limited range of the stability parameters. 相似文献

Effects of Thermal Stability and Incoming Boundary-Layer Flow Characteristics on Wind-Turbine Wakes: A Wind-Tunnel Study 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
Wind-tunnel experiments were carried out to study turbulence statistics in the wake of a model wind turbine placed in a boundary-layer
flow under both neutral and stably stratified conditions. High-resolution velocity and temperature measurements, obtained
using a customized triple wire (cross-wire and cold wire) anemometer, were used to characterize the mean velocity, turbulence
intensity, turbulent fluxes, and spectra at different locations in the wake. The effect of the wake on the turbulence statistics
is found to extend as far as 20 rotor diameters downwind of the turbine. The velocity deficit has a nearly axisymmetric shape,
which can be approximated by a Gaussian distribution and a power-law decay with distance. This decay in the near-wake region
is found to be faster in the stable case. Turbulence intensity distribution is clearly non-axisymmetric due to the non-uniform
distribution of the incoming velocity in the boundary layer. In the neutral case, the maximum turbulence intensity is located
above the hub height, around the rotor tip location and at a distance of about 4–5.5 rotor diameters, which are common separations
between wind turbines in wind farms. The enhancement of turbulence intensity is associated with strong shear and turbulent
kinetic energy production in that region. In the stable case, the stronger shear in the incoming flow leads to a slightly
stronger and larger region of enhanced turbulence intensity, which extends between 3 and 6 rotor diameters downwind of the
turbine location. Power spectra of the streamwise and vertical velocities show a strong signature of the turbine blade tip
vortices at the top tip height up to a distance of about 1–2 rotor diameters. This spectral signature is stronger in the vertical
velocity component. At longer downwind distances, tip vortices are not evident and the von Kármán formulation agrees well
with the measured velocity spectra. 相似文献

Non-linear model simulations of atmospheric boundary-layer flow over the hill called Blashaval have been compared with observations and linear model predictions. Previous studies have shown that linear models can give good predictions of wind speed at the summit and on the upwind slopes of Blashaval. The non-linear model provided wind speed predictions of similar accuracy when compared with the mean observed values at these locations.The published experimental data showed that on the lee-slope the wind speeds at 8m were reduced to approximately 10% of their upstream value at the same height. This was associated with an 180° change in wind direction compared with the upstream flow, suggesting that flow separation had occurred. The non-linear model predictions of lee-slope wind speed, when used with high-resolution topography data, were significantly better than linear model predictions. However, the non-linear model predicted lee-slope wind speeds that were still stronger than observed. The non-linear model simulated flow separation more readily with a 1 1/2-order turbulence closure than with a first-order, mixing-length closure. The configuration of the non-linear model that gave best agreement with observations predicted an 8m lee-slope wind speed that was around 50% of the upstream value. 相似文献
