The aerodynamic and aero-elastic model tests of the China''s highest cooling tower has been carried out in the TJ-3 Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel of Tongji University. By adopting a scanivalve system, the external wind pressure is firstly measured on $12{\times}36$ taps for a single tower, two and four grouped towers under the condition of both smooth flow and the boundary layer due to surrounding geographic and building topography. The measurements of internal wind pressure distribution of $6{\times}36$ taps are taken for a single tower under the various ventilation ratios ranging from 0% to 100% of stuffing layers located at the bottom of the tower. In the last stage, the wind tunnel tests with an aero-elastic model are carefully conducted to determine wind-induced displacements at six levels (each with eight points) with laser displacement sensors. According to the measurement results of wind pressure or vibration response, the extreme aerodynamic loading values of the single or grouped towers are accordingly analyzed based on probability correlation technique.

The synergism of active and passive microwave techniques for hurricane ocean wind remote sensing is explored. We performed the analysis of Windsat data for Atlantic hurricanes in 2003-2005. The polarimetric third Stokes parameter observations from the Windsat 10, 18 and 37 GHz channels were collocated with the ocean surface winds from the Holland wind model, the NOAA HWind wind vectors and the Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) operated by the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The collocated data were binned as a function of wind speed and wind direction, and were expanded by sinusoidal series of the relative azimuth angles between wind and observation directions. The coefficients of the sinusoidal series, corrected for atmospheric attenuation, have been used to develop an empirical geophysical model function (GMF). The Windsat GMF for extreme high wind compares very well with the aircraft radiometer and radar measurements.

연안 및 항만시설물의 설계에서 심해 설계파 및 풍속은 매우 중요한 설계 파라메타이다. 특히, 최근 부각되고 있는 방재공학 측면에서 이러한 정보에 대한 분석단계는 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 완도관측소의 기상연보에서 제시한 1978년부터 2003년까지의 풍속자료와 한국해양연구원 파랑정보시스템에서 제공하는 16방향별 최대 유의파 산출자료를 이용하여 극치분석을 수행하였다. 특성분석에 사용된 극치분포함수는 Weibull, Gumbel, Log-Pearson Type-III, Normal, Lognormal, Gamma 분포이며, 각 분포함수의 매개변수는 모멘트법, 최우도법 그리고 확률 가중 모멘트법으로 추정하였다. 또한, 극치분포함수의 적함성은 5${\%}$의 유의수준 즉, 95${\%}$신뢰도 수준으로 $x^{2}$및 K-S 검정을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 한국 남서연안의 심해 설계파고는 Gumbel 분포형이 가장 적합한 모형으로 파악되었으나, 본 연구의 대상영역에 적합한 모형은 각각의 극치자료에 따라 선정된 확률분포에 의해 다르게 나타났다.

한반도는 매년 태풍의 위험에 노출되어 있다. 태풍은 강풍과 강우가 동반되는 열대성 저기압으로 사회 경제적으로 막대한 피해를 유발한다. 현재의 자연재해 경고 시스템은 풍속과 강우를 구분하여 위험을 감지토록 설계되어 강풍과 폭우를 동반한 태풍의 위험을 경고하는데 한계점이 존재한다. 코플라모형은 확률변수들 사이의 복잡한 의존성 구조를 파악하기 위해 단변량분포의 집합을 다변량분포로 연결하는 모형으로 강우, 홍수, 가뭄 등의 분야에서 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한반도에서 태풍에 가장 많이 노출된 도시인 부산과 제주도의 기상 관측소 (ASOS)에서 수집된 1904년 4월 9일부터 2015년 12월 31일까지 일강수량 (precipitation), 일최대풍속 (maximum wind speed) 자료를 이용하였다. 각 변수의 주변부확률을 추정하기 위해 두꺼운 꼬리 분포인 로그정규분포, 감마분포, 와이블분포를 고려하였다. 주변부 확률분포의 적합성검정은 Kolmogorov-Smirnov와 Cramervon-Mises, Anderson-Darling 검정통계량을 이용하였다. 코플라모형을 위해 순위를 기반으로 한 유사자료 (pseudo observation)를 생성하여 두 변수 간 의존성을 추정하였다. 강풍과 폭우의 의존성을 설명하기 위한 코플라모형으로 타원형, 나선형, 극단치 코플라모형이 고려되었다. 코플라모형의 적합성은 Cramer-von-Mises로 검정하였고, 교차검증을 통해 최적모형을 선택하였다. 연구결과 일강우량과 풍속의 주변부 확률분포로 대부분 로그정규분포가 적합하였다. 부산의 일평균풍속에 따른 일강우량은 t 코플라, 일최대풍속에 따른 일강우량은 Clayton 코플라가 최적모형으로 선정되었다. 제주도의 일최대풍속에 따른 일강우량은 정규코플라, 일강우량에 따른 일평균풍속은 Frank 코플라, 일강우량에 따른 일최대풍속은 Husler-Reiss 코플라가 최적모형으로 선택되었다.

The accurate estimation of the buffeting response of a bridge pylon is related to the quality of the bridge construction. To evaluate the influence of wind field characteristics on the buffeting response of a pylon in a trumpet-shaped mountain pass, this paper deduced a multimodal coupled buffeting frequency domain calculation method for a variable-section bridge tower under the twisted wind profile condition based on quasi-steady theory. Through the long-term measurement of the wind field of the trumpet-shaped mountain pass, the wind characteristics were studied systematically. The effects of the wind characteristics, wind yaw angles, mean wind speeds, and wind profiles on the buffeting response were discussed. The results show that the mean wind characteristics are affected by the terrain and that the wind profile is severely twisted. The optimal fit distribution of the monthly and annual maximum wind speeds is the log-logistic distribution, and the generalized extreme value I distribution may underestimate the return wind speed. The design wind characteristics will overestimate the buffeting response of the pylon. The buffeting response of the pylon is obviously affected by the wind yaw angle and mean wind speed. To accurately estimate the buffeting response of the pylon in an actual construction, it is necessary to consider the twisted effect of the wind profile.

The yaw and interference effects of blades affect aerodynamic performance of large wind turbine system significantly, thus influencing wind-induced response and stability performance of the tower-blade system. In this study, the 5MW wind turbine which was developed by Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) was chosen as the research object. Large eddy simulation on flow field and aerodynamics of its wind turbine system with different yaw angles($0^{\circ}$, $5^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$) under the most unfavorable blade position was carried out. Results were compared with codes and measurement results at home and abroad, which verified validity of large eddy simulation. On this basis, effects of yaw angle on average wind pressure, fluctuating wind pressure, lift coefficient, resistance coefficient,streaming and wake characteristics on different interference zone of tower of wind turbine were analyzed. Next, the blade-cabin-tower-foundation integrated coupling model of the large wind turbine was constructed based on finite element method. Dynamic characteristics, wind-induced response and stability performance of the wind turbine structural system under different yaw angle were analyzed systematically. Research results demonstrate that with the increase of yaw angle, the maximum negative pressure and extreme negative pressure of the significant interference zone of the tower present a V-shaped variation trend, whereas the layer resistance coefficient increases gradually. By contrast, the maximum negative pressure, extreme negative pressure and layer resistance coefficient of the non-interference zone remain basically same. Effects of streaming and wake weaken gradually. When the yaw angle increases to $45^{\circ}$, aerodynamic force of the tower is close with that when there's no blade yaw and interference. As the height of significant interference zone increases, layer resistance coefficient decreases firstly and then increases under different yaw angles. Maximum means and mean square error (MSE) of radial displacement under different yaw angles all occur at circumferential $0^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$ of the tower. The maximum bending moment at tower bottom is at circumferential $20^{\circ}$. When the yaw angle is $0^{\circ}$, the maximum downwind displacement responses of different blades are higher than 2.7 m. With the increase of yaw angle, MSEs of radial displacement at tower top, downwind displacement of blades, internal force at blade roots all decrease gradually, while the critical wind speed decreases firstly and then increases and finally decreases. The comprehensive analysis shows that the worst aerodynamic performance and wind-induced response of the wind turbine system are achieved when the yaw angle is $0^{\circ}$, whereas the worst stability performance and ultimate bearing capacity are achieved when the yaw angle is $45^{\circ}$.

The typhoon wind characteristics designing for buildings or bridges located in complex terrain and typhoon prone region normally cannot be achieved by the very often few field measurement data, or by physical simulation in wind tunnel. This study proposes a numerical simulation procedure for predicting directional typhoon design wind speeds and profiles for sites over complex terrain by integrating typhoon wind field model, Monte Carlo simulation technique, CFD simulation and artificial neural networks (ANN). The site of Stonecutters Bridge in Hong Kong is chosen as a case study to examine the feasibility of the proposed numerical simulation procedure. Directional typhoon wind fields on the upstream of complex terrain are first generated by using typhoon wind field model together with Monte Carlo simulation method. Then, ANN for predicting directional typhoon wind field at the site are trained using representative directional typhoon wind fields for upstream and these at the site obtained from CFD simulation. Finally, based on the trained ANN model, thousands of directional typhoon wind fields for the site can be generated, and the directional design wind speeds by using extreme wind speed analysis and the directional averaged mean wind profiles can be produced for the site. The case study demonstrated that the proposed procedure is feasible and applicable, and that the effects of complex terrain on design typhoon wind speeds and wind profiles are significant.

It is well known that cylinder steel stacks are heavily impacted by vortex-induced vibration. However, the wind-induced vibration behaviors of tower-supported steel stacks are not clarified due to a lack of observation. We studied a stack's response to strong winds over a long period of time by observing the extreme wind-induced vibration of a 200 m-high tower-supported steel stack. This experiment aimed to identify the wind-induced vibration properties of a tower-supported steel stack and assess the validity of the vibration control method used in the experiment. Results revealed a trend in wind-induced vibration behavior. In turn, an effective measure for controlling such vibration was defined by means of increasing the structural damping ratio due to the effects of the tuned mass damper to dramatically decrease the vortex-induced vibration of the stack.

An offshore wind turbine supported by a spar buoy floating platform is the subject of this study on tower and rotor extreme loads. The platform, with a 120-meter draft and assumed to be sited in 320 meters of water, supports a 5 MW wind turbine. A baseline model for this turbine developed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is employed in stochastic response simulations. The support platform, along with the mooring system consisting of three catenary lines, chosen for loads modeling, is based on the "Hywind" floating wind turbine concept. Our interest lies in gaining an understanding of the dynamic coupling between the support platform motion and the turbine loads. We first investigate short-term response statistics using stochastic simulation for a range of different environmental wind and wave conditions. From this study, we identify a few "controlling" environmental conditions for which long-term turbine load statistics and probability distributions are established.

This paper discusses the processing of the wind loads measured in wind tunnel tests by means of multi-channel pressure scanners, in order to compute the response of 3D structures to atmospheric turbulence in the time domain. Data compression and the resulting computational savings are still a challenge in industrial contexts due to the multiple trial configurations during the construction stages. The advantage and robustness of the bi-orthogonal decomposition (BOD) is demonstrated through an example, a sail glass of the Fondation Louis Vuitton, independently from any tentative physical interpretation of the spatio-temporal decomposition terms. We show however that the energy criterion for the BOD has to be more rigorous than commonly admitted. We find a level of 99.95 % to be necessary in order to recover the extreme values of the loads. Moreover, frequency limitations of wind tunnel experiments are sometimes encountered in passing from the scaled model to the full scale structure. These can be alleviated using a spectral extension of the temporal function terms of the BOD.
