Abstract:
The development of a method to simulate desired approach turbulence characteristics and improve the typhoon resistance ability for complex building and transmission tower-line system in a multiple controlled fan wind tunnel is described. A case study is investigated using a closed-circuit single controlled fan wind tunnel model of the Full-Scale Test Facility at the State Grid Fujian Electric Power Research Institute for State Grid Wind Tunnel Laboratory. A small-scale model of the closed-circuit single controlled fan wind tunnel is designed and established to simulate the turbulence characteristics and develop the target turbulent flow generating methods efficiently. The results reveal that the value of the maximum average wind speed can reach 18.2 m/s and the maximum circular frequency is 7 Hz. Here, the mean wind speed of the sinusoidal wave flow is 15.1 m/s at the peak of amplitude of 3.8 m/s. The generated sinusoidal wave flow has a high correlation coefficient at 94.3% with the target.
