Description: This submission allow the user for generation of three-dimensional turbulent wind fields, by employing a Kaimal spectrum and IEC-based coherence function. Furthermore, it is possible to export the generated wind fields as FAST-compatible .bts, in order to simulate wind turbine dynamic behavior in presence of stochastic wind.
Required inputs are:
- Average wind speed at hub height, U0 [m/s]
- Desired turbulence intensity, I0 [ ]
- Hub height, HubHt [m]
- Random seed
- Number of grid points on z-axis, Nz (odd number)
- Number of grid points on y-axis, Ny (odd number)
- Grid width, Ly [m]
- Grid height, Lz [m]
- Time step, dt [s]
- Simulation length, T [s] (generally 600s)
- Length scales, (xLu,xLv,xLw) [m]
- Vertical wind shear exponent
- Coherence decay, a
- Coherence length scale, Lc [m].
The file GenerateOneBTS.m better highlights how the different functions operate.
