Compute TI, l from spectra or Reynolds Stress and validate #37

Open thclark opened 5 years ago

thclark commented 5 years ago

By integrating the spectra, or from the Reynolds Stresses (if possible?) compute Turbulent Intensity and lengthscale values.

These can be used in existing analysis codes to generate turbulent fields with the Mann method and TurbSim (using von Karman or Kaimal approximations until a field generator can be added to es-flow which properly reflects spectral shape).

Tasks

Validation

In processes using adem, it'll be possible to take the output values and, for given heights, generate ADEM, Kaimal and von Karman spectra, with consistent TI and L values across the board.

Determine a value of 'goodness' for Kaimal and von Karman, comparing their analytical solutions to the smooth analytical ADEM spectrum. This tells you which one better represents the actual spectrum through the boundary layer.
