The Juneau Terrain-Induced Turbulence Alert System

open access: yesBulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2011
Abstract The Juneau, Alaska, airport vicinity experiences frequent episodes of moderate and severe turbulence, which affect arriving and departing air traffic. The Federal Aviation Administration funded the National Center for Atmospheric Research to develop a warning system, consisting of carefully placed anemometers and wind profilers,

Evaluating Terrain as a Turbulence Generation Method

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
When driving microscale large-eddy simulations with mesoscale model solutions, turbulence will take space to develop, known as fetch, on the microscale domain.

Numerical Investigation of Terrain-Induced Turbulence over Taikoyama Wind Farm

open access: yes九州大学応用力学研究所所報, 2014
Because a significant portion of the topography in Japan is characterized by steep, complex terrain, which results in a complex spatial distribution of wind speed, great care is necessary for selecting a site for the construction of Wind Turbine ...

Numerical simulations of terrain-induced turbulent flow around Hong Kong International Airport

2023
Situated at the northern end of the mountainous Lantau Island, Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) often experiences terrain-induced flow disturbances, such as windshear and turbulence. Aircraft passing through these highly disrupted airflows can experience changes in headwind and thus lift.

Terrain-Induced Turbulence Intensity during Tropical Cyclone Passage as Determined from Airborne, Ground-Based, and Remote Sensing Sources

Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2014
AbstractLow-level turbulence [rapid headwind fluctuations below 1600 ft (500 m)] poses potential safety hazards to landing/departing aircraft and is capable of disrupting air traffic. Timely, accurate alerts of low-level turbulence require reliable determination of its intensity, quantified by an internationally adopted aircraft-independent metric ...

Hydrodynamic performance of a horizontal-axis tidal turbine subjected to terrain-induced turbulence using the lattice Boltzmann method

Physics of Fluids
The seafloor's uneven terrain induces turbulence, significantly affecting the hydrodynamic performance and wake dynamics of horizontal-axis tidal turbines (HATTs). A numerical method (LBM-LES) was developed by coupling the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) with large eddy simulation (LES) to analyze HATT hydrodynamics.
