摘要: 通过分析现场测量数据,研究经典相似性函数在山地风电场流动中的适用性问题,提出一种非中性条件下湍流黏度的修正方法。测量数据表明:经典相似性函数不能准确的描述山地风电场流动特性;湍流黏度在临近中性条件时通过参数Cm调节,在远离中性时应使用热稳定性函数进行修正。湍流黏度在使用测量值估算的相似性函数修正后,与测量值吻合度良好,验证了湍流黏度修正方法的可行性。文中所提出的相似性函数和湍流黏度修正方法,可用于开发新的大气边界层k-e湍流模型。Abstract: Experimental study on classical similarity functions and eddy viscosity in atmospheric turbulence flows in a wind farm of complex terrain were carried out. Measurements show that classical similarity functions are not appropriate in complex terrain while the eddy viscosity in the k-e turbulence model should be modeled either by calibrating Cm under near neutral conditions or by applying corrected function for non-neutral conditions. The corrected function is validated by measurements. The proposed similarity functions and the corrected modeling of eddy viscosity could benefit developing new k-e turbulence models for wind energy applications.
