Please select options and fill out input values in SI units: [m] & [m/s]   [On-line Unit Converter]
Available input options (place mouse cursor on parameter to see its description)
u*    :    z0   : z coordinates are necessary
Uref :    z0   : z coordinates are necessary
Vb    :    z0   :       Eurocode-based input z coordinates are necessary
U     :    Sig :    L  :
Total # of locations and their 3-D coordinates (x,y,z) of the locations for wind simulation
   [acceptable coordinate : delimited by comma(,) or MATLAB-compatible, e.g., 4,8,12 or 4:4:12]
Total number of locations :
x :
y :
z :
Total number of points in time (Nt), Time step (Δt)
   [Note that it is recommended to use Nt as power of 2 (2x) in order to benefit simulation speed]
Nt (max.=36000) : Δt [sec] :
Wind turbulence component (u, v or w)
Wind turbulence component : u   v   w
