Numerical Estimates of Three-Dimensional Wind Flow for the Cape Blanco Area of Oregon.
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6618296
A hybrid two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) numerical model was used to estimate wind flow for the Cape Blanco area of Oregon. The effects of changes in terrain elevation and surface vegetation features on wind distribution in both the horizontal and vertical directions were investigated. Short-term wind data obtained by Oregon State University (OSU) researchers by simultaneously flying kite anemometers at a fixed height above ground level at seven stations were used to calibrate the wind code. The kite anemometers were flown at heights ranging from 35 to 1000 feet above the ground. The relative rms errors between numerically calculated and observed wind speeds for three sets of the short-term wind data were within 10%.
