    Abstract

    A new method for generating synthetic turbulence is presented. The method is intended for generating a turbulent velocity field with a fine spatial resolution but only covering a small moving part of the rotor area of a wind turbine. For this application the Mann and Sandia methods cannot be used because of the very high requirements for computer memory. In the present method the auto- and cross-correlation in all three directions is computed from analytical or empirical expressions and the auto- and cross-spectra are determined by using the Wiener-Khinchin relation. From the auto- and cross-spectra a realization of a velocity field is determined by factorization and Fourier transform as in the Sandia method.
