Wind Field Model

GH Bladed includes comprehensive models of the complex wind fields which can excite the turbine.

• 3-dimensional, 3-component models of atmospheric turbulence

• Various turbulence spectra and coherence models

• Transients in wind speed, direction, and shear as specified in the design standards

• Wind shear (exponential or logarithmic models)

• Upflow

• Tower shadow, upwind and downwind

• Eddy viscosity model of upwind turbine wake
