Abstract

Spectral representation method (SRM) is the most classical one for the simulation of wind velocity. It is inefficiency when applied to large-scale non-stationary wind velocities with large simulation points. There are two reasons: numerous Cholesky decomposition and summation of Trigonometric terms. In order to improve the efficiency while ensuring accuracy, two aspects of work have been in this paper. (1) An adaptive interpolation-enhanced scheme is devised, which uses "average resolution" as the quantization index. This scheme can automatically realize the non-uniform distribution of interpolation points in two dimensions of time and frequency simultaneously, and improve the accuracy of interpolation. (2) The non-stationary wind velocities were reconstructed in time, frequency and space domain. Firstly, interpolation in time and frequency domain is directly applied to the H matrix, then proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) technology is introduced to decouple the wind velocities at spatial interpolation points, so as to obtain the time-dependent principal coordinates and space-dependent intrinsic mode function (IMF). Finally, IMF is reconstructed in the space domain to obtain the complete wind velocities. The above methodology is carried out to a super high-rise building containing 100 wind velocities simulation points and, results show that the proposed approach saves about 88% of the computational time compared with the classical SRM; saves about 47% of the computational time compared with the time-frequency interpolation based method. This paper achieves the rapid construction of large-scale non-stationary wind velocities.
