Class Documentation#

class scale_wind_vert : public module_base #

Scales wind speed from reference height to defined heights. Scales the wind vertically using a neutral stability log relationship. If snow depth is present, the height is taken into account. A fixed z0 of 0.01m is currently used. If a canopy is present then an exp sub-canopy scaling is used.

Depends:

Wind speed @reference height “U_R” [ \( m \cdot s^{-1} \) ]

Optional:

Snow depth to take into account for the scaling “snowdepthavg” [m]

Provides:

Wind speed @2m “U_2m_above_srf” [ \( m \cdot s^{-1} \) ]

Parameters:

If ignore_canopy=False, then Leaf Area Index “LAI” [-]

Configuration:

{
   "ignore_canopy": false
}

ignore_canopy#: Ignores the vegetation canopy

Default:: false

Public Functions

scale_wind_vert(config_file cfg)#

~scale_wind_vert()#

virtual void init(mesh &domain)#

virtual void run(mesh &domain)#: domain parallel allows for blending through vegetation to avoid sharp gradietns that can complicate blowing snow, &c.

virtual void run(mesh_elem &face)#

Needs to be implemented by each data parallel module. This will be called and executed for each timestep

Parameters:

face – The terrain element (triangle) to be worked upon for an element parallel domain
global_param – A pointer to the shared global paramter space with domain-wide paramters

void point_scale(mesh_elem &face)#
