doi: 10.11978/2023026舟山海域夏季上升流的年际变化及其与ENSO 的关系全梦媛, 王慧, 李文善, 王爱梅, 骆敬新国家海洋信息中心, 天津 300171摘要: 本文利用1968—2021年的海表温度和风场数据, 分析舟山海域夏季上升流强度的年际变化, 并结合同期的Niño 3.4指数分析ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation)对上升流的影响。
温度和风上升流指数表明, 1982—2021年夏季舟山海域上升流均呈下降趋势, 下降速率分别为0.062℃·10a −1和0.35m 3·s −1·(100m·a) −1。
近年来, 沿岸风应力的减弱是影响温度上升流指数减弱的一个重要因素。
统计更长时间段内(1968—2021年)El Niño 和La Niña 年风上升流指数的强度发现, El Niño 年平均风上升流指数较小, 仅为−10.33m 3·s −1·(100m) −1。
La Niña 年平均风上升流指数较大为7.60m 3·s −1·(100m) −1, 高于El Niño 和气候态, 且多达4级(比例为75%)。
进一步分析ENSO 与舟山海域风上升流指数的关系发现, ENSO 主要通过影响风的变化进而影响上升流的强度。
El Niño 年, 舟山海域东南风减弱, 导致上升流强度较弱, 甚至发生下降流。
La Niña 年主要为偏南风且风速较大, 更有利于上升流的发展。

The temperature and wind upwelling indices both show that the upwelling in Zhoushan sea decreased in summer during 1982—2021, with the decreasing rates of 0.062℃·10a −1and 0.35 m 3·s −1·(100m·a)−1, respectively. Recently, the weakened coastal wind stress causes the temperature upwelling index to decrease. According to the results, the wind upwelling index during La Niña events is larger than that during El Niño events and climatology. Further analysis of the relationship between ENSO and the wind upwelling index shows that ENSO affects the intensity of upwelling mainly by influencing the wind. In El Niño events, the southeast wind dominated Zhoushan sea weakens, leading to a decreasing upwelling intensity. While in La Niña events, the enhanced south wind benefits the development of upwelling.Key words: Zhoushan; upwelling; interannual variation; ENSO; wind收稿日期:2023-03-03; 修订日期:2023-03-30。
German-Dutch Wind Tunnels DNWThe foundation DNW is an independent non-profit organisation that has been established by NLR and DLR.In 1971, NLR was developing an atmospheric low speed wind tunnel with an 8x6 m2 test section. At the same time, in Germany, the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) defined a similar wind tunnel with tandem test sections of 9.5x9.5m2 and 6x6 m2. Both developments had reached the status of building pilot facilities. From 1974, NLR and DLR started a co-operation that combined the best of both worlds. The German-Dutch Wind Tunnel (singular) [Deutsch-Niederländisches Windkanal DNW, Duits-Nederlandse Windtunnel DNW] was built at NLR NOP site and offers all three test sections mentioned above.In 1993, the low-speed wind tunnels NWB (DLR Braunschweig) and LST (NLR NOP) were added to the foundation that is since then called "German-Dutch Wind Tunnels" (plural) and the original DNW wind tunnel was re-baptized "Large Lowspeed Facility LLF". Around 1998, the remaining industrial wind tunnels of DLR and NLR were added to the DNW foundation, including facilities in Göttingen and Amsterdam.Presently, DNW operates 12 facilities covering a Mach number range from 0 to almost 7.For more information on DNW: DNW web site .NLR used to operate its own wind tunnels until those were placed with the foundation German-Dutch Wind Tunnels DNW. Although NLR and DNW are separate and independently operating foundations, NLR and DNW can (but must not) operate together with transparency to the customer, synergizing their skills in terms of wind tunnel operation and model design.The Dutch National Aerospace LaboratoryThe Dutch National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR) carries out applied research on behalf of the aviation and space sectors. NLR is an independent technological institute.NLR performs research to develop new technologies for aviation and space travel, not only from a scientific perspective, but also for the application of this research in industrial and governmental sectors.NLR has two locations, one in Amsterdam and another about 100 kilometers to the northeast . Approximately 700 people - from aircraft engineers to psychologists, to mathematicians, to materials experts - work for NLR. All these people work constantly to make aviation safer and more environmentally friendly. They support Dutch government policy, they assist the Dutch military and use their own research to enhance the innovative capacity of private businesses. In this way, NLR contributes to more responsive authorities and competitive industries.NLR's clients include governmental authorities, large and small industries, and aerospace organizations - both in the Netherlands and abroad. NLR has a number of specialized research facilities such as wind tunnels, which it operates together with its German sister organization, DLR.NLR is a non-profit organization that carries out market-oriented andsocially-relevant studies. Three-quarters of the research it performs is commissioned by clients. It also receives subsidies to perform basic research.

X 120 ft. wind tunnel. A 3D CFD-RANS approach is used, modeling single blade of the rotor utilizing periodicity, in a rotating frame of reference; over several upwind cases. All the simulations are performed using the commercial multi-purpose CFD solver ANSYS CFX 12.1. The blade is modeled with simplified spherical hub excluding nacelle and tower, at stationary wind conditions neglecting wall shear effects due to tunnel blockage. The comparisons are done for the blade with 0° yaw angle and 3° tip pitch angle. Reasonably good agreement is obtained when comparing modeled mechanical effects Viz. power, thrust, and span wise force components with measurements over wind speeds ranging from 5m/s to 25m/s. The capability of CFD in predicting complex 3D wind turbine aerodynamics is demonstrated in this paper with NREL Phase VI data campaign as a case study.Keywords-NREL-VI Rotor, Navier–Stokes equations, Computational fluid dynamics, Wind turbine aerodynamics, Simulation.1.IntroductionAccurate aerodynamic predictions are required in the design of new rotor blades and additional passive/active performance improvement devices. This requires continued validation of new and existing design tools & methods, increased accuracy and efficiency of the results. CFD is one such design tool & extensive research has been done in developing the CFD tools and methods for predicting aerodynamics of wind turbines during the last few years.During the last decade, CFD modeling of wind turbines has evolved from scientific work performed at research institutions and investigations performed at wind turbine manufacturers with the application of commercial codes. Traditionally the wind turbine blades are designed using first principles (BEM theory) utilizing 2D airfoil tables from wind tunnel. Empirical corrections are used to account for 3D effects Viz. tip losses, root losses, rotational effects, and dynamic stall effects. High fidelity CFD naturally includes these phenomena, but has more difficulty in modeling and other wind turbine phenomena such as variable turbulent inflow and boundary layer transition [7]. CFD has been used to improve the aerodynamic design of wind turbines including tip shapes, winglets and hub modeling [8, 9, 10, and 11] where it captures flow physics better at which BEM models are no longer applicable. High fidelity Navier-Stokes based computational fluid dynamics is currently making inroads into many phases of industrial wind energy design [1, 2]. CFD is used for the analysis of both 2D airfoils and also 3D blades [1, 2, 3, 4, and 5].The NREL Phase VI Unsteady Aerodynamic Experiment [1, 2, and 18] provides an excellent validation test case for 3D CFD Rotor analyses. The Phase VI test campaign performed in the NASA Ames National Full- Scale Aerodynamic Complex (NFAC) was completed in the year 2000. The 2-bladed, 10.058m diameter, stall regulated turbine has a power rating of 20kW. The blades are twisted and mildly tapered. Multidisciplinary measurements were obtained over a wide range of operating conditions. Experimental measurements included blade pressures and resulting integrated air loads, shaft torque, sectional inflow conditions, blade root strain, tip acceleration and wakevisualization. Both upwind and downwind configurations with rigid and teetering blades were run for speeds from 5 m/s to 25 m/s. Yawed and unsteady pitch configurations are also available. Free and fixed transition results were measured. The blade uses specially designed S809 airfoil for which experimental aerodynamic performance parameters are available. Blade structural properties are well documented [21]. Various researchers [3, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20] have investigated this configuration numerically using a range of CFD methods and grid topologies.Researchers at Risø computed the isolated rotor with and without wind tunnel walls using a multi-block, structured mesh, incompressible solver EllipSys3D with a RANS turbulence model [18] and a detached eddy simulation [19]. Performance was generally well captured although stall initiation at 10 m/s wind speed was missed.The objective of the present work is to validate the CFD method utilizing commercial multi-purpose CFD solver ANSYS CFX 12.1 & Multi block structured mesh generator ICEM-CFD, with the NREL Phase VI rotor (Test sequence S) wind turbine experiments. This report mainly consists of ∙ CFD Modeling of the NREL Phase VI rotor ∙ Comparison of integrated quantities ∙ Flow visualization∙ Comparison of span-wise sectional details ∙ Comparison of 2D airfoil characteristics ∙ Comparison with other CFD predictions ∙Conclusions2. CFD Modelling of NREL Phase VI RotorIn the present work a compressible Navier-Stokes solver (CFX) is utilized to predict the aerodynamics of the Phase VI rotor from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The two-bladed 10.058m diameter rotor geometry is based on the S809 airfoil. The details about the blade & measurement convent ions can be found in [21]. The rotor cone angle is 0° and the tip pitch angle is set to 3°. In this investigation, only Sequence S upwind configuration is examined, and the operational conditions for the cases computed can be found in Table 1.Table 1. Sequence S Operating conditions.In the current work, a single blade is modeled in CFD considering the periodic boundary conditions that isequivalent to 180o periodic sector of the rotor, to save computational resource. Only the wind speed, RPM and density are used as input variables for CFD simulations without any empirical tuning of the existing models. ANSYS CFX 12.1 uses a finite-volume based unstructured parallelized coupled algebraic multi-grid solver with a second order advection scheme and second order overall accuracy [22]. The computations have been performed with compressible Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the SST [23] turbulence model. The transition from laminar to turbulent flow is modeled using Langtry and Menter correlation based Gamma-Theta transition model. The default correlations in the model are proprietary of ANSYS and therefore not known in detail by the user. In general the default correlation for R eθt is based on the free stream turbulence intensity and the pressure gradient outside the boundary layer. The value of R eθt determined outside of the boundary layer is diffused into the boundary layer by a standard diffusion term. The physics of the transition process is not directly modeled by the two additional transport equations. Instead, the physics of the transition process is entirely contained in the underlying experimental correlations.As the turbine is upwind type, exclusion of tower in the CFD model has negligible effect on rotor aerodynamics & is a sound choice. The theoretical definition of the S809 airfoil has a very sharp trailing edge; whereas the geometry used for CFD simulations has trailing edge thickness of 1mm along the entire span of blade that resembles the actual blade used for experimentation. Rotor computations are stationary, at constant uniform wind speed, constant pitch and RPM neglecting the unsteady inflow, which is a fair choice considering that the experimental data set is arrived statistically from a large number of repeated measurements. Uniform velocity normal to the inlet is used at inlet boundary and atmospheric static pressure is used at outlet and far-field boundaries. Blade and hub surfaces are defined as no-slip walls with specified rotation. Figure 1 shows different boundaries and the blade.Figure 2 shows the mesh on different boundaries including the blade. All computations are run in parallel on the computing cluster.Fig. 1. Computational domain, boundaries and blade.Fig. 2. Computational mesh on boundaries and blade.The steady state simulations are performed for approximately 900 iterations ensuring convergence (residuals <=10e-4 & imbalances <1 %).It took approximately 24 hours of computing time with 32 CPU’s.parison of Integrated QuantitiesMechanical Power (P) is calculated by monitoring the torque T about the flow axis and multiplying with the angular velocity Ω (as shown in equation 1).P = TΩ (1) Fig. parison of measured and CFD Integrated quantities.It is observed from Fig.3 that integrated quantities Viz. Power & Thrust, from CFD compare well with experimental results at all wind velocities, except at 10 m/s, where an over-prediction up to 20 % is observed.4.Flow VisualisationsFigure 4 shows surface streamlines and Fig.5 shows turbulence intermittency contours on the suction side of blade indicating transition at 7 m/s, 10 m/s and 20 m/s wind speed. The vertical lines show span-wise sections Viz. 30%, 46.7%, 63.3%, 80%, 95%, where pressure measurements are available .It is observed that at low wind speed up to 7 m/s, the flow is attached except up to 30 % span & the transition line is clearly visible. At 10 m/s the flow is separated over the entire span except close to 95 % span, where transition can be clearly seen , and close to mid-span (47.7% span) the separation line has moved to the leading edge. At 20 m/s the separation has spread over the entire blade and the flow is fully turbulent across the span.parison of Span-Wise Sectional DetailsFrom the experiment pressure measurements are available at five span-wise sections Viz. 30 %, 46.7%, 63.3%, 80%, 95% r/R. The stagnation point dynamic pressure is used to non-dimensionalise the pressure.Fig. 4. Surface streamlines at 7 m/s, 10 m/s & 20 m/s wind speed.Fig. 5. Turbulence intermittency on suction side of the bladeat 7m/s, 10 m/s & 20 m/s wind speed.Fig. 6. Comparison of CFD and measured pressure distributions at 5m/s wind speed. Fig. 7. Comparison of CFD and measured pressure distributions at 7m/s wind speed.Figure6 and Fig.7 show pressure distribution at 5m/s and 7m/s wind speed, which is categorized as low wind speed region. Referring Fig.4 to Fig.7, the flow is mostly attached and is in good agreement with the measured pressure distribution except up to 30% span, where flow is separated and we observe some deviation that is due to a known difficulty of RANS turbulence models in solving separated flow.Figure 8 shows pressure distribution & force coefficients at 10 m/s wind speed which is categorized as onset of stall. A discrepancy in pressure near the leading edge of suction surface (Peak suction pressure) is observed at 46.7 % span due to flow separation close to mid-span and resulting localized transient stall effects making the peak suction pressure practically difficult to capture in the experiments. The same can be observed from sudden dip of tangential force coefficient CT at 46.7% span.Figure 9 & Fig.10 show pressure distribution and force coefficients at 13 m/s & 15 m/s respectively, which are categorized as stall region, where the flow is separated over the entire blade except close to the tip. The separation that started at mid span for 10 m/s wind speed moves progressively towards the outer span of blade with increase in wind speed, the same is observed from widening ofCTdip. Figure 11 & Fig.12 show pressure distribution and force coefficients at 20 m/s & 25 m/s respectively, which are categorized as deep stall region, where the flow is separated over entire span and the blade is completely stalled. Deviation is observed in the suction side pressure distribution in stall and deep stall region, due to difficulty of RANS models in solving separated flows. This difference however does not cause substantial differences to integrated quantities, which is a characteristic specific to S809 airfoil at higher angle of attack and is in agreement with observations from [18].Although quantitative differences exist in the normal & tangential force coefficients between computed andexperimental data, the trends agree well for all the wind velocities. The fact that the number of pressure probes placed along the airfoil to reconstruct the pressure distribution from experiments has a physical limitation compared to no limitations in CFD simulations reflects in deviations. For e.g. in experiment data at 22 pressure probes is available along the airfoil, while CFD simulations have 700 grid/data points along the airfoil. Thus CN, CT calculated with experimental pressure distribution assumes linear pressure variation between any two consecutive measurements, whereas CFD has a much finely resolved pressure profile.Fig. 8. Comparison of CFD and measured pressure distributions at 10m/s wind speed.Fig. 9. Comparison of CFD and measured pressure distributions at 13m/s wind speed.Fig. 10. Comparison of CFD and measured pressure distributions at 15m/s wind speed.Fig. 11. Comparison of CFD and measured pressure distributions at 20m/s wind speed.Fig. 12. Comparison of CFD and measured pressure distributions at 25m/s wind speed.parison of 2D Airfoil CharacteristicsFigure 13 shows the 2d characteristics extracted from 3D CFD at 5 span-wise locations Viz. 29%, 48%, 66%, 79%& 93% using the method described in [25].Fig. 13. 2D characteristics extracted from 3D CFDIt is compared with 2D OSU WT (wind tunnel) data of S809 airfoil with natural transition. It is observed that the lift is comparatively higher in the inboard section for high angle of attack that is in good agreement with theoretical himmelskamp effect. It is also observed that the drag is comparatively higher, thus the higher lift in inboard sections is at the cost of higher drag. For the outer span-wise locations Viz. 66% and 79 % span Cl & Cd compare well with WT data , these locations thus are least affected by inboard and outboard radial flow. At 93 % span the tip effects influence the flow and lowers Cl & Cd that again is in good qualitative agreement with theory.parison with Other CFD PredictionsFigure 14 shows the comparison of our CFD results (CFX) with other CFD predictions Viz. BEM, Risoe (Ellipsys 3D) & GRI (Acusolve) for NREL Phase VI rotor test sequence S. Note that the Risoe (Ellipsys 3D) predictions are for fully turbulent flow conditions.Fig. 14.Comparison of CFD results with other researchersA good comparison is observed for CFX predictions with experiments and other CFD researchers.8.ConclusionComputational fluid dynamics calculations have been executed for NREL Phase VI rotor at upwind conditions with 0° yaw and 3° tip pitch. A single blade has been analyzed with 180° periodicit y and structured mesh using commercial multi-purpose CFD solver ANSYS CFX 12.1. The steady state CFD data is compared with the measured wind tunnel data. CFD rotor computations show good qualitative and quantitative comparison with measurements except at the onset of stall (10 m/s).At low wind speed (5 m/s & 7 m/s) flow is attached except up to 30 % span and transition occurs close to mid-chord. CFD predictionss are accurate & within the measurement range.At the onset of stall (10 m/s) separation occurs close to mid span at leading edge. Steady state CFD fails to predict the power and thrust within measurement range and is well known for its difficulty in capturing highly transient effects at the onset of stall. This reflects in over-prediction as high as 20 % in power.In stall (13 m/s and 15 m/s) and deep stall (20 m/s & 25 m/s), the separation that initiated at mid-span (at 10 m/s) progressively moves over the entire span with increase in wind speed. Steady state CFD predicts integrated quantities within measurement range, although quantitative differences are observed in pressure distribution on suction side, due to the specific stall behavior of S809 airfoil.Additionally flow visualization and comparison of 2D airfoil characteristics extracted from 3D CFD with OSU WT airfoil data gives more insight and understanding of complex 3D effects making CFD computations more competitive & generic compared to design methods based on 2D theoretical models that rely on empirical tuning & corrections.

the University of Western Ontario. It also details some of the techniques used to analyse the data from these tests. Since it is a general outline, it will cover some tests and analyses not performed for a particular project. Other than the wind climate modelling discussed in Section 2 and Appendices A and B, and the prediction methodology discussed in Appendices D and E, the various tests and analysis methodology are independent and the reader may skip sections that are not relevant. Also, this report does not, by any means, attempt to cover all of the types of tests and analyses performed at the Laboratory. Unusual tests are covered in separate reports for the projects employing them.In determining the effects of wind for a particular development, there are two main ingredients to consider. The first comprises the aerodynamic characteristics of the development. These are simply the effects of the wind when it blows from various directions. This information only has limited value, however, without knowing how likely it is that the wind will blow from those directions and how strongly it is likely to blow. This climatological information, in the form of a probability distribution of wind speed and direction, is the second main ingredient needed for determining wind effects for a particular development. The aerodynamic information is characteristic of the particular development and its immediate surroundings, while the wind climate information is characteristic of the geographical location of the development. Both are necessary to determine the wind effects for a particular development and, when combined, provide statistical predictions of the wind effects which are independent of wind direction.At the BLWTL, the aerodynamic characteristics of the development are commonly determined through model studies of the project. These studies may include measurements of various types of information of interest, such as cladding loads, structural loads and pedestrian level wind speeds, as detailed in the following sections of this report. The probability distribution of wind speed and direction, is determined from analyses of historical wind speed and direction records taken near the site of the development. Details of these analyses are included in Appendix A. Tropical cyclones, such as hurricane or typhoon winds present a special case and their associated statistical characteristics are handled separately using different analysis methods. These are detailed in Appendix B.In all cases, tests carried out at the BLWTL are in accordance with the state-of-the-art, and meet or exceed such test requirements as documented by the ASCE Manual of Practice (1).2 THE MODELLING OF THE SITE AND THE WIND2.1 GeneralThe basic tool used is the Laboratory's Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel. This wind tunnel is designed with a very long test section, which allows extended models of upwind terrain to be placed in front of the model of the development under test. The modelling is done in more detail close to the site. The wind tunnel flow then develops characteristics which are similar to the wind over the terrain approaching the actual site. This methodology has been highly developed and further details can be found in References 2, 3 and 4.The modelling is comprised of the following components:1. A detailed model of the development. Different types of model are used for the various types oftest. These are discussed below in the sections on the individual tests.2. A detailed proximity model of the surrounding area, built in block outline from wood andStyrofoam. Depending on the scale and size of the model, this may extend for a radius of approximately 500 to 600 metres.3. Coarsely modelled upstream terrains, chosen to represent the general roughness upstream ofthe site for particular wind directions. Typically, several models are chosen, each used for a range of wind directions.For project sites close to hilly terrain or with unusual topography, topographic study may be carried out to establish the wind characteristics at the site. This may be in the form of topographic model study at a small scale (~1:3000) or computational methods. The resulting target wind characteristics will be modelled in the larger scale used in the building or bridge tests.2.2 ScalingThe fundamental concept is that the model of the structure and of the wind should be at approximately the same scale. The natural scaling of the flow in the wind tunnel is in the range 1:400 to 1:600; however, in some cases, instrumentation or other requirements may demand a larger model. In these cases, additional flow modification devices may be used to approximate larger scale flows.In all cases, it is the mean wind speed profile and the turbulence characteristics over the structure that are most important to match with those expected in full scale. Guidance as to the latter is obtained through direct full scale measurements as compiled by ESDU (5, 6). Such data are also used to ensure that the test speeds near the top of the building are properly interfaced with full scale wind speeds predicted to occur at the full scale site.3 THE CLADDING LOADS TESTS3.1 Pressures and Suctions on Exterior SurfacesDetailed measurements of the pressures and suctions on exterior surfaces of the building or structure are made using a rigid model that accurately represents the detailed exterior geometry of the development. The model contains numerous (typically 300 to 800) holes or "taps" which are connected via tubing to pressure transducers. The transducers convert the pressure at the point where the tap is located to an electrical signal which is then measured by the Laboratory's computerized data acquisition system. The technology employed allows all pressures on the building to be measured essentially simultaneously for a particular wind direction. Measurements are usually made at 10° intervals for the full 360° azimuth range. A detailed description of the procedures followed and the definitions used are presented in Appendix C.These aerodynamic measurements made in the wind tunnel are subsequently combined with the statistics of the full scale wind climate at the site using the methodology outlined in Appendices D and E to provide predictions of pressures and suctions for various return periods.3.2 ScalingThe aerodynamic pressure coefficients can be converted to full scale pressure values based on consistent length, time and velocity scaling between full scale and model scale. This applies very well for sharp-edged structures. For structures with curved surfaces, additional care has to be taken to ensure that the flow regime is consistent in model and full scale, as well as in the interpretation of the results.For typical building tests, length scale is in the order of 1:300 to 1:500. Velocity scale is approximately 1:3 to 1:5. Time scale is in the order of 1:100. For example, 36 seconds in model scale represents about an hour in full scale and the data will be taken about 100 faster in the test than in full scale. Further details regarding scaling can be found in Appendix C.3.3 Internal Pressures and Differential PressuresThe net load on cladding is the difference between the external and internal pressures. Using the methodology described in Appendix F, mean internal pressures are determined at all wind angles. These are then subtracted from the appropriate external pressure coefficients to form differential pressure coefficients. Finally, the coefficients are combined with the statistics of the full scale wind climate at the site, using the methodology outlined in Appendices D and E, to provide predictions of differential pressures and suctions for various return periods.In the case of large opening due to operable windows or breach of the building envelope, large internal pressures may develop. Typically, the external pressure at the opening will be transmitted into the building interior volume. Building envelope at other locations within the building volume will experience both the external pressures at those external locations as well as the large internal pressure transmitted from the opening.For free standing elements with both sides exposed to air, such as parapets and canopies, the net differential pressures are the instantaneous difference in pressures on the opposite sides.4 THE DETERMINATION OF OVERALL STRUCTURAL LOADS ANDRESPONSES4.1 IntroductionThe dynamic response of most tall buildings to wind is primarily the results of building motions in the fundamental sway and torsion modes of vibration with relatively small contributions from higher modes. The mechanical transfer function, relating the load function to the response, is straightforward. On the other hand, the aerodynamic transfer function, relating the gust structure to the wind induced forces is difficult to establish without wind tunnel model tests. A further complication exists if body motion effects interact with the load function (aerodynamic damping).Multi-degree-of-freedom aeroelastic models have traditionally been used to study the action of wind on sensitive buildings and structures. While such simulations provide the most direct and reliable estimates, the required models are expensive and time consuming to design and construct. Two-degree-of-freedom aeroelastic models, which simulate the wind induced responses in the two fundamental sway modes of vibration, while less expensive, do not provide information on torsion effects, which may be significant for buildings of unusual shape and structural dynamic properties. In both of these cases, the model moves in the wind tunnel just as it would in full scale; its response in the wind tunnel can be scaled directly to full scale.A high-frequency balance/model system can measure the load function directly, provided that aerodynamic damping effects are negligible, which is usual for most buildings at practical wind speeds and practical structural damping values. (Note that if such effects are important, they can be accounted for by using a supplemental testing technique in which the model is oscillated). The now commonly used high frequency force balance technique was originally developed at the BLWTL.One other method for determining the load function is to integrate the point pressure measurements on an instant-by-instant basis to form time histories of the generalized forces.4.2 The Force Balance TestThis technique involves testing a lightweight, stiff, geometrical representation of the building on an ultra-sensitive force balance. The technique allows direct measurements of good approximations to the steady and unsteady modal forces acting in the fundamental sway and torsional modes of vibration of the building. The dynamic responses including resonant amplification at the natural frequencies of the building are derived analytically for each mode using random vibration analysis methods and are subsequently used to provide estimates of the full scale responses of the building. As a result, this method is very accommodating of changes to the structural properties after testing, since the analytical procedure can be simply repeated using the same experimental results, which remain applicable so long as the aerodynamic characteristics of the building remains the same. A detailed description of this method is presented in Appendix G.Time histories of the base shears and moments are taken during the tests. From these, the mean and rms (root-mean-square) base bending moments along orthogonal building axes, as well as mean and rms base torque are determined. The base bending moments represent a good approximation to the generalized modal forces in the fundamental modes. The spectra of the generalized modal forces are also determined from these time histories and used to determine the resonant component of the response. Measurements are usually taken at 10° intervals for the full 360° azimuth range.Scaling is essentially the same as for pressure tests, requiring scaling of the structure to the flow model only, with the non-dimensionalized data being independent of test speed; however, in this case, the time scaling must be chosen carefully to ensure that the prototype’s natural periods of interest fall within the accurate measuring range of the model/balance combination.Once the responses have been determined, they are combined with the statistics of the full scale wind climate at the site, using the methodology outlined in Appendix D, to provide predictions of loads and responses for various return periods.4.3 The Two-degree-of-freedom Aeroelastic TestThis technique requires scaling the dynamic properties (mass, stiffness and period) of the building in the fundamental sway modes and measuring the response to wind loads directly. The building is modelled as a rigid body, pivoted near the base, with the elasticity provided by appropriately selected springs. Implicit in this technique is the assumption that the sway modes do not include any coupling and can be approximated as linear, and that torsion is unimportant. These prove to be reasonable assumptions for a large range of buildings. A full discussion of this technique is contained in Appendix H.The advantage of this technique is that the measurements will include effects of aerodynamic damping that are not included when using the force balance technique. It is also a simpler, less expensive technique than a multi-degree-of-freedom aeroelastic test. The disadvantages of the technique are that it is limited by the assumptions noted above and it is more complicated and expensive than the force balance technique while being less accommodating of changes to the dynamic properties of the building after the test. Furthermore, its advantage over the force balance technique, namely the inclusion of aerodynamic damping effects, rarely proves to be necessary since the aerodynamic damping is usually small and positive (i.e. it reinforces the inherent structural damping), but can be negative if vortex shedding plays an important role in the dynamic response. For most buildings, vortex shedding occurs at speeds well above the range of speeds that the structure will be subjected to. Nevertheless, it is useful for confirming force balance results and confirming that aerodynamic damping effects are indeed negligible.As with other types of tests, once the aerodynamic data has been measured for a full range of wind directions, it is combined with the statistics of the full scale wind climate at the site, using the methodology outlined in Appendix D, to provide predictions of loads and responses for various return periods.4.4 The Multi-degree-of-freedom Aeroelastic TestThis technique requires scaling the dynamic properties (mass, stiffness, periods and mode shapes) of the building in the fundamental sway modes and the fundamental torsion mode, including any coupling within modes. Some higher modes of vibration are also modelled. The responses to wind loads are then measured directly. Typically, a building is modelled as a series of lumped masses joined by appropriately sized columns; for towers, other approaches to produce the elastic model can also be used. A full discussion of this technique is contained in Appendix I.The advantage of this technique is that the measurements will include effects of aerodynamic damping, vortex shedding, coupling within modes and some higher modes that are not fully dealt with when using the force balance technique. For most buildings, however, it can be argued that the aerodynamic damping effects are likely to be small, higher modes can be neglected and that the force balance adequately handles coupled modes analytically. Nevertheless, for more complicated structures, the additional reassurance of an aeroelastic test may be justified.The disadvantages of the technique are that the model is time consuming and expensive to build. The model is also designed for a single set of building dynamic properties and approximations must be made if these change. The force balance technique on the other hand, yields results equally applicable to any set of building dynamic properties.As with other types of tests, once the aerodynamic data has been measured for a full range of wind directions, it is combined with the statistics of the full scale wind climate at the site, using the methodology outlined in Appendix D, to provide predictions of loads and responses for various return periods.4.5 Overall Loads from Local Pressure MeasurementsThe development of solid state pressure scanners, which permit the simultaneous measurement of pressures at many points on the surface of a building, allows the determination of instantaneous overall wind forces from the local pressure measurements. The technique allows direct computation of the steady and unsteady modal forces acting in any number of modes of vibration of the building. In similar fashion to the force balance approach, the resonant amplification due to the building's structural dynamics is derived analytically for each mode using random vibration analysis methods and results are subsequently used to provide estimates of the full scale response of the building. A detailed description of this method is presented in Appendix J. (Note that integration can also yield true time histories of loads on building subcomponents of interest, such as canopies, large panels, or roofs).The advantages of this technique are that a single model used in a single testing session can produce both overall structural loads and cladding loads. The testing parameters would be extended to ensure that the local pressure data taken is also sufficient for the analysis of structural loads. The analysis required to determine structural loads from the local pressure information is nominally the same as that from the force balance tests. This technique also has the advantage of properly determining the generalized forces for three-dimensional non-linear mode shapes. Although these are also properly handled in multi-degree-of-freedom aeroelastic tests through the proper design of the aeroelastic model, such tests are expensive and time-consuming. The force balance technique can handle three-dimensional mode shapes but need to have corrections for non-linear modes. The pressure integration technique can also be used to examine higher modes with non-monotonic mode shapes.A disadvantage of this technique is that the cladding pressure test model typically includes more instrumentation and takes longer to construct than a force balance test model. Also, as in the force balance technique, it does not include any effects of the building's motion through the air, such as aerodynamic damping; however, neglecting these effects is usually slightly conservative. Proper integration of local pressures to obtain overall wind forces requires that all buildings surfaces are properly represented in the model instrumentation and subsequent calculations. This may not be possible for buildings or structures with complex geometry or small components.Once the responses have been determined, they are combined with the statistics of the full scale wind climate at the site, using the methodology outlined in Appendix D, to provide predictions of loads and responses for various return periods.4.6 Effective Static Force DistributionRepresentative effective static force distributions reflecting the combined static and dynamic response of the building are evaluated for the x, y and torque directions. The details of the procedure are included as Appendix K.In principle, for any azimuth, effective static force distributions can be determined which reproduce the measured dynamic peak base bending moment. The particular vertical distribution chosen must reflect the actual static and dynamic loading of the building.The loading is reasonably considered to be made up of the mean loading, the dynamic loading due to background or quasi-steady excitation and the dynamic inertial loading due to resonant oscillations. The mean loading distribution is determined from the integration of mean external local pressures from the cladding loads test or from an assumed distribution chosen to reflect the mean wind speed distribution. The inertial dynamic loading distribution is determined from the known vibration properties of the building. The measurement of the relative contribution of the unsteady and steady components at the base from one of the above structural loads tests is used to combine the mean and dynamic distributions into one total distribution. An overall effective loading diagram, independent of wind direction, is then constructed by averaging the effective force distributions, weighted by the relative importance of each wind direction.It should be appreciated that these effective static loading distributions are representative of the most likely severe wind loading conditions expected, but the detailed loading may change somewhat for。
