VE0309 | Ensayo de capa límite atmosférica

Descripción del trabajo

Este ejemplo se basa en el ensayo de la capa límite atmosférica (ABL) del documento de la aerogenerador alemana: Fact Sheet of Committee 3 - Numerical simulation of wind flows, chapter 9.1 (see references). Before each numerical simulation, it should be checked whether the atmospheric boundary layer defined at the inflow reaches the structure by testing its development in an empty tunnel. This affects not only the distribution of the velocities, but also the turbulent quantities. The test must be carried out for both steady (RANS) and transient (URANS, LES) calculations. In the following article, the development of a velocity field, turbulence kinetic energy field and turbulence dissipation rate field is shown for the four terrain categories I to IV defined in the EN 1991-1-4. A vertically anisotropic turbulence acc. to chapter 6.3.1 and RANS k-ω SST turbulence model is used.
