Abstract

The present study investigates the effect of turbulence on aerodynamic derivatives (ADs) and the uncertainty of AD estimates due to buffeting forces. Wind tunnel experiments were conducted, using forced vibration testing to analyze changes in estimated ADs with increasing turbulence intensity. The experimental results revealed a significant scatter in the AD estimates, indicating the stochastic influence of buffeting forces on the estimation of ADs. Monte Carlo (MC) simulations were performed to further investigate this phenomenon. The MC simulations demonstrated that larger buffeting forces lead to larger uncertainty in estimated ADs, and highlighted the challenge of accurate estimation in the presence of turbulent flow. Despite challenges with the system identification, the study indicated that changes in aerodynamic damping due to turbulence are likely. In addition, closed-form analytical expressions for uncertainty estimation in ADs due to noise yielded uncertainty estimates that corresponded well with the experiments and the MC simulations. It was shown that the uncertainty of estimated ADs in turbulent flow can be decreased by increasing measurement duration and increasing the forced motion amplitude.

期刊介绍： The objective of the journal is to provide a means for the publication and interchange of information, on an international basis, on all those aspects of wind engineering that are included in the activities of the International Association for Wind Engineering http://www.iawe.org/. These are: social and economic impact of wind effects; wind characteristics and structure, local wind environments, wind loads and structural response, diffusion, pollutant dispersion and matter transport, wind effects on building heat loss and ventilation, wind effects on transport systems, aerodynamic aspects of wind energy generation, and codification of wind effects. Papers on these subjects describing full-scale measurements, wind-tunnel simulation studies, computational or theoretical methods are published, as well as papers dealing with the development of techniques and apparatus for wind engineering experiments.
