Abstract

Generally, the fluctuating wind is simplified as several independent one-dimensional multivariate stationary Gaussian processes in simulating a natural wind field. The correlation in the lateral, longitudinal and vertical directions should all be considered in the simulation of longitudinal wind field for the large-span spatial structures. In fact, this type of structure has lots of simulation points. The calculation amount of wind field simulation by the harmonic superposition method depends on the scale of cross-spectral density matrix, which is directly related to the number of simulated points, leading to a low efficiency when generating the time-varying wind speed. This paper innovatively proposes a high-efficiency simulation method for the longitudinal wind field based on Taylor's hypothesis. Subsequently, the effectiveness of the proposed wind field method was verified by the numerical simulation. Finally, the dynamic responses of a transmission tower-line system under the wind loadings generated with the new method and traditional method are calculated and compared. The percentages difference of the mean and maximum axial force at the main tower members are less than 0.02% and 1%, respectively, indicating the effectiveness of the proposed time delay method. The results also show that the proposed simulation method of wind field can not only ensure the simulation accuracy, but also significantly improve the efficiency of wind speed generation, which is suitable for the wind load simulation of large-span spatial structures.
