Estimation of Turbulence Intensity for Horizontal Wind Speed in Baghdad

Abstract

In This work the turbulence intensity for horizontal wind speed in AL-SHAABE/ area, BAGHDAD city ,has been measured ,as well, we found a relation between the wind speed average and turbulence intensity.The observation have been made for wind speed and its direction at two levels 12.5m and 7.5m by using a slow response instrument. The rang scale of observation extended throughout the duration of two months, October and November 2010.All observations have been recorded in neutral or very near neutral weather .We chose a selected hours of the day from 14:00 to18:00 inLocal time.The maximum turbulence intensity value were {5} at level 7.5m, measured on 31/10/2010 at 16:24 in local time.
