Experiments on integral length scale control in atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
Accurate predictions of turbulent characteristics in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) depends on understanding the effects of surface roughness on the spatial distribution of velocity, turbulence intensity, and turbulence length scales. Simulation of the ABL characteristics have been performed in a short test section length wind tunnel to determine the appropriate length scale factor for modeling, which ensures correct aeroelastic behavior of structural models for non-aerodynamic applications. The ABL characteristics have been simulated by using various configurations of passive devices such as vortex generators, air barriers, and slot in the test section floor which was extended into the contraction cone. Mean velocity and velocity fluctuations have been measured using a hot-wire anemometry system. Mean velocity, turbulence intensity, turbulence scale, and power spectral density of velocity fluctuations have been obtained from the experiments for various configuration of the passive devices. It is shown that the integral length scale factor can be controlled using various combinations of the passive devices. 相似文献

The processes influencing turbulence in a deciduous forest and the relevant length and time scales are investigated with spectral and cross-correlation analysis. Wind velocity power spectra were computed from three-dimensional wind velocity measurements made at six levels inside the plant canopy and at one level above the canopy. Velocity spectra measured within the plant canopy differ from those measured in the surface boundary layer. Noted features associated with the within-canopy turbulence spectra are: (a) power spectra measured in the canopy crown peak at higher wavenumbers than do those measured in the subcanopy trunkspace and above the canopy; (b) peak spectral values collapse to a relatively universal value when scaled according to a non-dimensional frequency comprised of the product of the natural frequency and the Eulerian time scale for vertical velocity; (c) at wavenumbers exceeding the spectral peak, the slopes of the power spectra are more negative than those observed in the surface boundary layer; (d) Eulerian length scales decrease with depth into the canopy crown, then increase with further depth into the canopy; (e) turbulent events below crown closure are more correlated with turbulent events above the canopy than are those occurring in the canopy crown; and (f) Taylor's frozen eddy hypothesis is not valid in a plant canopy. Interactions between plant elements and the mean wind and turbulence alter the processes that produce, transport and remove turbulent kinetic energy and account for the noted observations. 相似文献

We analyse single-point velocity statistics obtained in a wind tunnel within and above a model of a waving wheat crop, consisting of nylon stalks 47 mm high and 0.25 mm wide in a square array with frontal area index 0.47. The variability of turbulence measurements in the wind tunnel is illustrated by using a set of 71 vertical traverses made in different locations, all in the horizontally-homogeneous (above-canopy) part of the boundary layer. Ensemble-averaged profiles of the statistical moments up to the fourth order and profiles of Eulerian length scales are presented and discussed. They are consistent with other similar experiments and reveal the existence of large-scale turbulent coherent structures in the flow. The drag coefficient in this canopy as well as in other reported experiments is shown to exhibit a characteristic height-dependency, for which we propose an interpretation. The velocity spectra are analysed in detail; within and just above the canopy, a scaling based on fixed length and velocity scales (canopy height and mean horizontal wind speed at canopy top) is proposed. Examination of the turbulent kinetic energy and shear stress budgets confirms the role of turbulent transport in the region around the canopy top, and indicates that pressure transport may be significant in both cases. The results obtained here show that near the top of the canopy, the turbulence properties are more reminiscent of a plane mixing layer than a wall boundary layer. 相似文献

We investigate the spatial characteristics of urban-like canopy flow by applying particle image velocimetry (PIV) to atmospheric
turbulence. The study site was a Comprehensive Outdoor Scale MOdel (COSMO) experiment for urban climate in Japan. The PIV
system captured the two-dimensional flow field within the canopy layer continuously for an hour with a sampling frequency
of 30 Hz, thereby providing reliable outdoor turbulence statistics. PIV measurements in a wind-tunnel facility using similar
roughness geometry, but with a lower sampling frequency of 4 Hz, were also done for comparison. The turbulent momentum flux
from COSMO, and the wind tunnel showed similar values and distributions when scaled using friction velocity. Some different
characteristics between outdoor and indoor flow fields were mainly caused by the larger fluctuations in wind direction for
the atmospheric turbulence. The focus of the analysis is on a variety of instantaneous turbulent flow structures. One remarkable
flow structure is termed ‘flushing’, that is, a large-scale upward motion prevailing across the whole vertical cross-section
of a building gap. This is observed intermittently, whereby tracer particles are flushed vertically out from the canopy layer.
Flushing phenomena are also observed in the wind tunnel where there is neither thermal stratification nor outer-layer turbulence.
It is suggested that flushing phenomena are correlated with the passing of large-scale low-momentum regions above the canopy. 相似文献

Precise urban atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) wind tunnel simulations are essential for a wide variety of atmospheric studies in built-up environments including wind loading of structures and air pollutant dispersion. One of key issues in addressing these problems is a proper choice of simulation length scale. In this study, an urban ABL was reproduced in a boundary layer wind tunnel at different scales to study possible scale effects. Two full-depth simulations and one part-depth simulation were carried out using castellated barrier wall, vortex generators, and a fetch of roughness elements. Redesigned “Counihan” vortex generators were employed in the part-depth ABL simulation. A hot-wire anemometry system was used to measure mean velocity and velocity fluctuations. Experimental results are presented as mean velocity, turbulence intensity, Reynolds stress, integral length scale of turbulence, and power spectral density of velocity fluctuations. Results suggest that variations in length-scale factor do not influence the generated ABL models when using similarity criteria applied in this study. Part-depth ABL simulation compares well with two full-depth ABL simulations indicating the truncated vortex generators developed for this study can be successfully employed in urban ABL part-depth simulations. 相似文献

The boundary layer wind tunnel at the Technische Universit?t München was tested for atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) simulations. The ABLs developing above rural, suburban, and urban terrains were reproduced using the Counihan method, i.e., castellated barrier wall, vortex generators, and a fetch of surface roughness elements. A series of flow-characteristic evaluations was performed to investigate the flow development and uniformity. Experimental results presented as mean velocity, turbulence intensity, integral length scale of turbulence, Reynolds stress, and power spectral density of velocity fluctuations were compared with the ESDU data and/or theoretical models. Generated ABL wind-tunnel simulations compare well with the rural, suburban, and urban ABLs. In the test section area used for experiments on structural models, the ABL simulation is developed and uniform. Results of this study indicate the boundary layer wind tunnel at the Technische Universit?t München can be successfully employed in a broad spectrum of engineering, environmental, and micrometeorological studies, where it is required to accurately reproduce ABL characteristics. 相似文献

The fundamental properties of turbulent flow around a perfectly staggered wind farm are investigated in a wind tunnel. The wind farm consisted of a series of 10 rows by 2–3 columns of miniature wind turbines spaced 5 and 4 rotor diameters in the streamwise and spanwise directions respectively. It was placed in a boundary-layer flow developed over a smooth surface under thermally neutral conditions. Cross-wire anemometry was used to obtain high resolution measurements of streamwise and vertical velocity components at various locations within and above the wind farm. The results show that the staggered configuration is more efficient in terms of momentum transfer from the background flow to the turbines compared to the case of an aligned wind turbine array under similar turbine separations in the streamwise and spanwise directions. This leads to improved power output of the overall wind farm. A simplified analysis suggests that the difference in power output between the two configurations is on the order of 10%. The maximum levels of turbulence intensity in the staggered wind farm were found to be very similar to that observed in the wake of a single wind turbine, differing substantially with that observed in an aligned configuration with similar spacing. The dramatic changes in momentum and turbulence characteristics in the two configurations show the importance of turbine layout in engineering design. Lateral homogenization of the turbulence statistics above the wind farm allows for the development of simple parametrizations for the adjustment of flow properties, similar to the case of a surface roughness transition. The development of an internal boundary layer was observed at the upper edge of the wind farm within which the flow statistics are affected by the superposition of the ambient flow and the flow disturbance induced by the wind turbines. The adjustment of the flow in this layer is much slower in the staggered situation (with respect to its aligned counterpart), implying a change in the momentum/power available at turbine locations. Additionally, power spectra of the streamwise and vertical velocity components indicate that the signature of each turbine-tip vortex structure persists to locations deep within the wind farm. 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

Wind-tunnel simulations of theatmospheric stable boundary layer (SBL) developedover a rough surface were conducted by using athermally stratified wind tunnel at the Research Institutefor Applied Mechanics (RIAM), Kyushu University. Thepresent experiment is a continuation of the workcarried out in a wind tunnel at Colorado StateUniversity (CSU), where the SBL flows were developed over asmooth surface. Stably stratified flows were createdby heating the wind-tunnel airflow to a temperature ofabout 40–50°and by cooling the test-section floor toa temperature of about 10°. To simulate therough surface, a chain roughness was placed over thetest-section floor. We have investigated the buoyancyeffect on the turbulent boundary layer developed overthis rough surface for a wide range of stability,particularly focusing on the turbulence structure andtransport process in the very stable boundary layer.The present experimental results broadly confirm theresults obtained in the CSU experiment with the smoothsurface, and emphasizes the following features: thevertical profiles of turbulence statistics exhibitdifferent behaviour in two distinct stability regimes with weak and strong stability,corresponding to the difference in the verticalprofiles of the local Richardson number. The tworegimes are separated by the critical Richardsonnumber. The magnitudes in turbulence intensities andturbulent fluxes for the weak stability regime aremuch greater than those of the CSU experiments becauseof the greater surface roughness. For the very stableboundary layer, the turbulent fluxes of momentum andheat tend to vanish and wave-like motions due to theKelvin–Helmholtz instability and the rolling up andbreaking of those waves can be observed. Furthermore,the appearance of internal gravity waves is suggestedfrom cross-spectrum analyses. 相似文献

Large-scale turbulent motions enhancing horizontal gas spread in an atmospheric boundary layer are simulated in a wind-tunnel
experiment. The large-scale turbulent motions can be generated using an active grid installed at the front of the test section
in the wind tunnel, when appropriate parameters for the angular deflection and the rotation speed are chosen. The power spectra
of vertical velocity fluctuations are unchanged with and without the active grid because they are strongly affected by the
surface. The power spectra of both streamwise and lateral velocity fluctuations with the active grid increase in the low frequency
region, and are closer to the empirical relations inferred from field observations. The large-scale turbulent motions do not
affect the Reynolds shear stress, but change the balance of the processes involved. The relative contributions of ejections
to sweeps are suppressed by large-scale turbulent motions, indicating that the motions behave as sweep events. The lateral
gas spread is enhanced by the lateral large-scale turbulent motions generated by the active grid. The large-scale motions,
however, do not affect the vertical velocity fluctuations near the surface, resulting in their having a minimal effect on
the vertical gas spread. The peak concentration normalized using the root-mean-squared value of concentration fluctuation
is remarkably constant over most regions of the plume irrespective of the operation of the active grid. 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

Large-Eddy Simulation of Windbreak Flow 总被引：13，自引：10，他引：3

A large-eddy simulation has been performed of turbulent flow around multiple windbreaks set within a wheat canopy under neutral stability conditions. The simulation is validated against a wind tunnel data set taken under similar conditions. Velocity profiles and second-order statistics are presented and compared to those found in the wind tunnel. From the numerical simulation, we discuss spatial distributions of instantaneous velocity fields and pressure statistics, which are important and telling features of the flow that are difficult to measure experimentally. We present a discussion of the momentum balance at various locations with respect to the windbreak, and similarly, we introduce the budget of a passive scalar. These discussions show the importance of the terms in each budget equation as they vary upstream and downstream of the windbreak. 相似文献

The characteristics of the atmospheric turbulent Ekman boundary layer have been qualitatively simulated in an annular rotating wind tunnel. Observed velocity spirals found to exist within the wind tunnel resembled qualitatively those found in the atmosphere in that a two-layer structure was evident, consisting of a log-linear portion topped by an outer spiral layer. The magnitude of the friction velocity u * obtained from the log-linear profile agreed with that measured directly, i.e., that obtained from the relation: u * = (u′w′)1/2. Also, the effects of surface roughness on the characteristics of the boundary layer agreed with expected results. In cases where the parametric behaviour predicted by theory departed from the observed behaviour, the probable cause was the inherent size limitations of the wind tunnel. The ability to maintain dynamic similarity is constrained by the limited radius of curvature of the wind tunnel. The vertical distribution of turbulent intensity in the wind tunnel was found to agree qualitatively with an observed atmospheric distribution. Also, a vertical distribution of eddy diffusivity was calculated from tunnel data and found to give qualitatively what one might expect in the atmosphere. 相似文献

The adaptation of the atmospheric boundary layer to a change in the underlying surface roughness is an interesting problem and hence much research, theoretical, experimental, and numerical, has been undertaken. Within the atmospheric boundary layer an accurate numerical model for the turbulent properties of the atmospheric boundary layer needs to be implemented if physically realistic results are to be obtained. Here, the adaptation of the atmospheric boundary layer to a change in surface roughness is investigated using a first-order turbulence closure model, a one-and-a-half-order turbulence closure model and a second-order turbulence closure model. Perturbations to the geostrophic wind and the pressure gradients are included and it is shown that the second-order turbulence closure model, namely the standard k - model, is inferior to a lower-order closure model if a modification to limit the turbulent eddy size within the atmospheric boundary layer is not included within the model. 相似文献

Operating ranges of meteorological wind tunnels for the simulation of convective boundary layer (CBL) phenomena 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The operating ranges of meteorological wind tunnels for convective boundary-layer (CBL) simulation are defined in this paper based on a review of the theoretical and practical limitations of the flow phenomena and the facilities available. Wind-tunnel operating ranges are limited by the dimensions of the simulated circulations and of the tunnel itself, the tunnel flow speed and turbulence processes, and the characteristics of the measurement instrumentation. When it is desired to simulate both the CBL and the behavior of other flows imbedded within the boundary layer, such as power-plant plume rise and dispersion, then additional constraints exist on the fluid modeling process. The capabilities of meteorological wind tunnels can also be extended through the judicious use of boundary and side wall flow controls. 相似文献
