Influence of Turbulence, Orientation, and Site Configuration on the Response of Buildings to Extreme Wind

Figure 3

Spectra of the along-wind velocity components for different flow conditions with the von Karman spectrum: (a) logarithmic scale; (b) linear scale of the -axis. While the flow in configuration BLb is slightly missing turbulence, especially at low-frequencies, the smooth flow is missing both large and small eddies (low- and high-frequency turbulence, resp.).
