Autoregressive representation of longitudinal, lateral, and vertical turbulence spectra

Abstract A method for the simulation of fluctuating wind velocity time histories based on a combination of time series models and existing expressions for longitudinal, lateral, and vertical turbulence spectra is outlined. Related expressions for calculating the integral scale of turbulence, x Lu , are presented. Calculated values of x Lu using this method are close to those obtained by conventional methods from various field data.
