基于径向功率谱的风廓线雷达错误风数据处理

选取上海市世博园区站、金山站和嘉定F1赛车场站3个风廓线雷达站2012年3月7日凌晨一次降水过程生成的错误水平风场数据,通过对比该时段高、低模式扫描实时径向功率谱数据,指出在降水初期风廓线雷达软件质量控制出现错误的原因,并重新识别错误时段的功率谱,反演水平风场数据。分析表明:在降水初期由于风廓线雷达各波束探测的数据在空间上不一致,易导致雷达软件采用的质量控制算法并不能全部识别和消除降水对数据的干扰,从而出现偏差。基于风廓线雷达高时空分辨率径向功率谱数据的分析处理方法可有效验证雷达软件质量控制算法,且经过该方法反演后的水平风场更为合理。     

一种抑制降水对风廓线雷达水平风干扰的方法

降水条件下,风廓线雷达 (wind profiler radar,WPR) 能够同时接收到大气湍流回波和降水粒子的散射回波,降水信号谱与湍流信号谱叠加在一起。风廓线雷达计算水平风时,若采用叠加在一起的功率谱处理降水条件下的探测数据,必将导致后期水平风的合成严重失真。该文首先对原始功率谱数据进行插值和平滑处理,通过功率谱曲线极大值点的个数判断其是否受到降水影响。对于受到降水影响的功率谱,依据湍流谱和降水谱均趋于对称型的特点,用两种方法分别对不同特征的功率谱曲线进行湍流谱和降水谱的分离处理,继而利用分离出的湍流谱信号反演水平风场。研究选取广东省湛江站风廓线雷达2013年6月及7月两次实测降水过程,分析结果表明:用湍流谱代替原始功率谱反演的风场,一致性较处理前有明显提高,从而证明了该分离方法的可行性。     

2011年江苏省一次暴雨过程的影响系统分析及物理量诊断

利用NECP/NCAR提供的逐日再分析资料,对江苏省2011年6月24—25日暴雨从环流形势、云图实况对照水汽通量和水汽通道变化3个方面进行了分析,结果表明前期影响该次暴雨过程的天气系统是西风槽,后期是台风,中期是两者相互作用.通过诊断过程水汽通量散度、垂直速度、散度和垂直螺旋度,发现它们作为25日强降水的预报因子,具有预报先兆性,大约有9~12 h的提前预报量.同时,发现近海台风(米雷)中低层垂直螺旋度由负变正并增加时,未来12 h内易出现强降水,而当中低层垂直螺旋度开始明显减小时,未来12 h内降水会逐渐减小,若减小是由正变负,则降水减弱时间更快,提前量在2 h左右.对于24和25日降水性质的不同,运用K指数加以验证,表明24日主要为多对流性降水,25日对流性减弱,以系统性降水为主.     

浮式风机极限载荷与疲劳载荷对比分析

根据IEC61400-3设定工况,采用NREL开发的5 MW风机基础模型,应用FAST,以Aero-Hydro-Servo-Elastic耦合仿真技术对风机进行研究。对时域仿真得到的短期载荷,应用分块极大值法联合Gumbel分布外推计算风机极限载荷;以雨流计数法、线性累积损伤理论和S-N曲线为理论基础应用MLife软件,计算风机疲劳载荷。对比分析不同工况下浮式风机、近海单桩风机和陆上风机的极限载荷与疲劳载荷,进而探讨影响浮式风机动态响应的因素。结果表明,对于陆上风机和近海单桩风机,风是其主要载荷来源;而波浪是浮式风机主要载荷来源。对风机进行设计要根据特定海域统计的海洋气候条件,避免风机及其支撑结构的固有频率与波浪频率近似而产生共振;风机制造装配在一定误差范围内,质量不平衡对风机载荷几乎没有影响。     

Damage Identification of A TLP Floating Wind Turbine by Meta-Heuristic Algorithms

Damage identification of the offshore floating wind turbine by vibration/dynamic signals is one of the important and new research fields in the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). In this paper a new damage identification method is proposed based on meta-heuristic algorithms using the dynamic response of the TLP (Tension-Leg Platform) floating wind turbine structure. The Genetic Algorithms (GA), Artificial Immune System (AIS), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) are chosen for minimizing the object function, defined properly for damage identification purpose. In addition to studying the capability of mentioned algorithms in correctly identifying the damage, the effect of the response type on the results of identification is studied. Also, the results of proposed damage identification are investigated with considering possible uncertainties of the structure. Finally, for evaluating the proposed method in real condition, a 1/100 scaled experimental setup of TLP Floating Wind Turbine (TLPFWT) is provided in a laboratory scale and the proposed damage identification method is applied to the scaled turbine.     

Experiment Study of Dynamics Response for Wind Turbine System of Floating Foundation

The floating foundation is designed to support a 1.5 MW wind turbine in 30 m water depth. With consideration of the viscous damping of foundation and heave plates, the amplitude-frequency response characteristics of the foundation are studied. By taking into account the elastic effect of blades and tower, the classic quasi-steady blade-element/momentum (BEM) theory is used to calculate the aerodynamic elastic loads. A coupled dynamic model of the turbine-foundation- mooring lines is established to calculate the motion response of floating foundation under Kaimal wind spectrum and regular wave by using the FAST codes. The model experiment is carried out to test damping characteristics and natural motion behaviors of the wind turbine system. The dynamics response is tested by considering only waves and the joint action of wind and waves. It is shown that the wind turbine system can avoid resonances under the action of wind and waves. In addition, the heave motion of the floating foundation is induced by waves and the surge motion is induced by wind. The action of wind and waves is of significance for pitch.     

Modelling the Zambezi River plume

A model for the Zambezi River plume, the largest on the Indian Ocean coast of Africa, is presented and the results of experiments with different discharges and wind forcings are analysed. Although the river plays an important role in the southern African economy through power generation on large dams, artisanal fisheries, and frequent flooding events that impact greatly on local populations, the plume has not been well studied. Observations during the period 2004–2007, when the winds were mainly easterly or south-easterly, indicated that the plume waters can extend both downstream (equatorwards) and upstream (polewards) of the Zambezi Delta with a recirculating bulge near the river mouth. The model is constructed using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), with a 40-km long, 3-km wide river discharging into a rectangular coastal ocean with a linearly sloping bottom. When the model is forced only by a constant river discharge of 1 000?m³ s^?1 (typical of observed discharge amounts in summer), the Kelvin and Froude numbers for the resulting plume imply a ‘large-scale’ buoyant discharge with a coastal current that is close to being in geostrophic balance with the across-shore pressure gradient and a recirculating ageostrophic bulge near the mouth. The distributions of the bulge and plume waters are found to be relatively insensitive to the discharge amount. Under constant wind forcing, the plume distribution changes dramatically. Northerly and easterly winds produce the largest changes with the latter able to deflect the plume up to 180° due to Ekman drift. When sea breeze-like winds are imposed, accumulation of water in the bulge occurs with substantial spreading upstream. Stronger sea breezes lead to less downstream spreading of the plume than gentle winds. When the winds are mainly across-shore, Ekman drift dominates, but the dynamics become almost geostrophic when the winds are roughly aligned to the coast. These experiments suggest that the Zambezi River plume is sensitive to the winds on diurnal to synoptic time-scales.     

乌鲁木齐机场东南大风过程温压湿及水平风切变特征

针对乌鲁木齐机场2002~2005年出现的典型东南大风天气过程,利用常规天气资料和机场跑道自动观测系统采集的实时观测资料,分析了东南大风天气机场跑道附近气象要素及水平风切变的演变特征。结果表明,①东南大风天气时气象要素场特征变化明显,起始和维持阶段具有升温、降压和降湿的特征,结束前具有降温、升压和升湿的特征,气温、场压和湿度变化转折的时间基本一致,这一时间也正是东南大风开始减弱的时间;②同一时刻机场跑道两端会出现风向和风速的不连续,在跑道上形成较强的水平风切变,尤其在起始和结束阶段跑道风切变强度表现得更明显。跑道两端风速差大小及其变化是影响风切变强弱和变化的决定因素。     

First ENA observations at Mars: ENA emissions from the martian upper atmosphere

The neutral particle detector (NPD) on board Mars Express has observed energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) from a broad region on the dayside of the martian upper atmosphere. We show one such example for which the observation was conducted at an altitude of 570 km, just above the induced magnetosphere boundary (IMB). The time of flight spectra of these ENAs show that they had energies of 0.2-2 keV/amu, with an average energy of ∼1.1 keV/amu. Both the spatial distribution and the energy of these ENAs are consistent with the backscattered ENAs, produced by an ENA albedo process. This is the first observation of backscattered ENAs from the martian upper atmosphere. The origin of these ENAs is considered to be the solar wind ENAs that are scattered back by collision processes in the martian upper atmosphere. The particle flux and energy flux of the backscattered ENAs are and , respectively.
