dig-cide-es-10261-2361852021-07-07T06:54:45Z Effects of Sensor Response and Gust Duration on Maximum Wind Gust Measurements and Data Homogenisation Safaei Pirooz, A. A. Flay, R. G. J. Minola, L. Azorín-Molina, César Chen, Deliang Trabajo presentado en EGU General Assembly, celebrada en modalidad virtual del 4 al 8 de mayo de 2020. Wind speed data recorded using different signal-processing procedures can introduce errors in the wind speed measurements. This study aims to assess the effects of a set of various moving average filter durations and turbulence intensities on the recorded maximum gust wind speeds. For this purpose, a series of wind-tunnel experiments was carried out at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, on the widely-used Vaisala WAA151 cup anemometer. The variations of gust and peak factors, and turbulence intensities measured by the cup anemometer as a function of the averaging duration and turbulence intensity are presented. The wind-tunnel results are compared with values computed from a theoretical approach, namely random process and linear system theory, and the results were also validated against values reported in the literature where possible. To summarise, the major findings of this experimental study are: The results show that increasing the effective gust duration reduces both the gust and peak factors, resulting in an underestimation of maximum gust wind speeds and an overestimation of minimum gust wind speeds. The maximum difference between gust factors obtained for high (e.g. 3-s to 5-s) and low (raw, unfiltered measurements) gust durations reached values of 25% ¿ 30% for the high turbulence conditions, and up to 5% ¿ 10% for low turbulence intensities. Gust factor ratios, an important parameter that allow the measurements from a specific gust duration to be converted to other gust durations of interest, are reported for various gust durations as a function of turbulence intensity. The differences and gust factor ratios computed in this study can be applied directly to fullscale measurements, and can be used in several research areas, including analysing and homogenisation of historical wind speed time series, comparing gust climatologies of countries where different gust durations have been adopted, and so on. These factors clearly play an essential role in meteorological, climatological and wind engineering studies. 2021-03-26T14:30:02Z 2021-03-26T14:30:02Z 2020-05-03 2021-03-26T14:30:02Z comunicación de congreso http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_5794 EGU General Assembly (2020) http://hdl.handle.net/10261/236185 Publisher's version Sí open |
