Abstract

The distributions of near-surface meteorological elements, such as wind, are greatly affected by the terrain underneath, which makes the power structure of micro geomorphic area more vulnerable to the influence of local climate. Single hills with length are one of typical terrains in microrelief. In this paper, the circulation caused by buoyant flows and temperate within typical single hilly terrain with length is studied. The Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) is used to integrate buoyancy, turbulence and micro-terrain into a single model and it is applied to the special situation of micro-terrain climate. How the wind field is influ-enced by different surface temperature and the model surface roughness is carefully described. The results show that, different surface temperature has a very strong effect on the speedup ratio. Compared with the air temperature, the lower the terrain surface temperature is, the more obvious the speedup ratio effect is, and vice versa. For different roughness surface terrain, the speedup ratio has almost the same characteristics.

Highlights

  • It’s easy to have ice grow on transmission line in microrelief region than other areas due to the micro-climate caused by terrain

  • In (4), the effective SGS thermal diffusivity, ߙ௧ is the sum of the molecular thermal diffusivity.The radiative transfer of Eq (4), which considers the use of the radiation models available in OpenFOAM(Vdovin A[11]).In general we did not activate radiation in the our cases

  • The results of the present study can provide basic aerodynamic information to calculate the wind fields with finer resolution for a dynamical downscaling model and a parametric wind field model, some conclusions are as follows: (1) Wind speed ratios above the terrain surface are affected by the surface temperature

Summary

Introduction

It’s easy to have ice grow on transmission line in microrelief region than other areas due to the micro-climate caused by terrain. There are still many challenges in providing finer resolution wind fields when considering the complicated or finer-resolution terrain in the dynamic framework of the numerical weather prediction (NWP) model (Wyngaard [1]). In the transmission line of mountain area, because the temperature difference between mountain and air changes greatly, when there is sudden wind, it is easy to happen flashover accident and galloping accident. Aerodynamic characteristics around terrain of different roughness and with different temperature were studied numerically. The structure of this first part of the work, we briefly describe the numerical treatment used to deal with the physical problem.
