With limited options, we will create a turbulent wind with a different mean wind speed while leaving everything else unchanged. Change the mean wind speed to 11 m/s. Click on the Now button next to Generate Turbulence. You will be prompted two dialogues and you may click on OK to proceed. Save the wind file in the desired directory.

To replace the default wind file with the user-defined wind file, click on the Time varying wind tab. Use the browse button to locate the file you have generated and replace the default wind file (demo_a.wnd).

Click on OK to finish.

Info
titleNotes to Cornell MAE 5020 students:

The workstations in the Swanson lab can not generate valid turbulent wind files. This creates an error when the user tries to replace the default wind file. It also turns out the simulations can not be performed using the default wind file either. Turbulence wind files with various conditions will be provided to you to complete your Wind Power course project. Make sure you download and extract the files in the appropriate working directory.

  • Turbulent wind with mean speed of 11 m/s can be downloaded here.
