Abstract
The effect of topographic features on wind velocity and turbulence intensity was evaluated by conducting wind tunnel experiments with Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system. In this study, to simulate the natural wind characteristics, the active turbulence grids and boundary layer generation frame were installed in the wind tunnel. The mean wind velocity, the velocity vector diagram and the turbulence intensity around the two-dimensional single simplified models were investigated. As a result, the flow was separated at the simplified model tip in all cases of models, and the countercurrent flow field was generated at the downstream side. Moreover, the clockwise circulation flow also moved to the upstream side in the case of large radius R. RX was followed by the name given the radius value of X. For the mainstream turbulence intensity, the ranges of high turbulence intensity were z/H < 2.8 for R1 model, z/H < 2.6 for R3 model, z/H < 2.5 for R6 model, z/H < 2.4 for R11 model, z/H < 2.2 for R20 model, z/H < 2.0 for R23 model, z/H < 1.9 for R25 model in the vertical direction. The quantitative measurement results of this paper provided a database for the validation of the wind velocity distributions of atmospheric turbulent flow in the hill and mountain regions.
