Since NOWS has utilized MATLAB as a numerical calculation engine, inputs are MATLAB-compatible format.
Below examples are based on the simulation of three locations.
Example 1 : wind velocity simulation at uniformly distributed locations
4:4:12
4,8,12
Example 2 : wind velocity simulation at non-uniformly distributed locations
4,10,12
Updates
The function of fluctuating wind force calculation is now removed as it required large memory size.
Instead, an additional output, mean wind speed (
U), is added in the result interface to be downloaded. With this information, one can calculate fluctuating wind force by following expression:
where,
F(
t) = fluctuating wind force;
ρ = air density;
CD = drag coefficient;
A = tributary area:
U = mean wind speed;
u(
t) = fluctuating wind speed
