Recent field measurements have demonstrated that conventional stationary random processes inadequately describe the wind characteristics of typhoons. Consequently, research needs to transition from stationary to non-stationary models. This study conducts a comparative analysis of stationary and non-stationary wind speed models, utilizing measured data from Typhoon Mangkhut, which had wind speeds exceeding 8 m/s at landfall. Firstly, the stationarity of the entire wind speed time series is assessed using the run test analysis method. Subsequently, the time-varying mean wind speed is derived through empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) techniques, with a comparative analysis of their efficiency. The results show that the DWT performs better in capturing the non-stationarity of the wind speed, and the extracted time-varying mean wind speed fluctuates more dramatically. On this basis, the non-stationary fluctuating wind characteristics, including turbulence intensity, gust factor, turbulence integral scale, and power spectral density (PSD), are further analyzed and compared with the stationary model results. It is found that the stationary model usually overestimates the fluctuating wind characteristics, resulting in conservative calculation outcomes. In addition, the study fits a stationary power spectral density model for Mangkhut in a flat sea area and estimates the evolving power spectra density (EPSD) in three directions by complex Morlet wavelets. It is found that the energy of non-stationary fluctuating winds is mainly concentrated in the low frequency band, and the energy decreases gradually with increasing frequency. The peak density of the EPSD of the turbulent wind displays notable time-varying features, which are essential for the transitory wind-induced vibrations of large-span structures. This work expands the database of non-stationary wind characteristics in extreme wind fields, offering significant references for wind-resistant designs in open sea regions.
