The wind flow using this atmospheric model simulation is studied for identification of grid-tie electrification opportunities in different wind locations. A 10-year reanalysis wind speed components at a surface level of the planetary layer at 0.25° × 0.25° spatial resolution is obtained and remapped into a new horizontal wind field at a grid resolution of 0.125° × 0.125° covering longitudinal and latitudinal directions of 3.0 - 15.0°E and 15.0 - 3.0°N, respectively. Using the distance-weighted average technique, the remapped wind field at a new grid resolution of 0.125° × 0.125° is compared at different terrain elevations and approximated close to the actual wind field of the same resolution. To determine the suitability of the prevailing wind for small-scale energy conversion, the magnitude of wind flow across the remapped wind field is studied for a 10-year period. Analysis shows that northern regions of Nigeria have a fair wind potential for a stand-alone application based on the wind flow originated at Gulf of Guinea as well as Chad and Niger. Furthermore, hourly surface wind speed observations from 18 synoptic stations in Nigeria are obtained and compared with the bilinear interpolated wind stations. The reanalysis wind reflects the surface wind observations and proves that the prevailing wind in Nigeria is higher than the reanalysis wind projection obtained from gridded data at resolution of 0.125° × 0.125°. The sectorwise wind directions at each synoptic stations for a period of 10 years are presented.展开更多

The remapper from a distorted grid to a rezoned grid is usually regarded as a conservative interpolation problem. The present paper introduces a pseudo time to transform the interpolation into an initial value problem on a moving grid, and construct a moving mesh method to solve it. The new feature of the algorithm is the introduction of multi- point information on each edge, which leads to the numerical flux consistent with grid node motion. During the procedure of deriving scheme, we illustrate a framework about how the algorithms on a rectangular mesh are easily generated to those on a moving mesh. The basic ideas include： （i） introducing coordinate transformation, which maps the irregular domain in physical space to a perfectly regular computational domain, and （ii） deriving finite volume methods in the physical domain, which can be viewed as a discretization of the transformed equation. The resulting scheme is second-order accurate, conservative and monotonicity preserving. Numerical examples are carried out to show the good performance of ore＂ schemes.展开更多

This new method is an effective generalization of the original subcell-remapping method to the multi-material regime (LOUBERE, R. and SHASHKOV,M. A subcell remapping method on staggered polygonal grids for arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian methods. Journal of Computational Physics, 209, 105–138 (2005)). A complete remapping procedure of all fluid quantities is described detailedly in this paper. In the pure material regions, remapping of mass and internal energy is performed by using the original subcell-remapping method. In the regions near the material interfaces, remapping of mass and internal energy is performed with the intersection-based fluxes where intersections are performed between the swept regions and pure material polygons in the Lagrangian mesh, and an approximate approach is then introduced for constructing the subcell mass fluxes. In remapping of the subcell momentum, the mass fluxes are used to construct the momentum fluxes by multiplying a reconstructed velocity in the swept region. The nodal velocity is then conservatively recovered. Some numerical examples simulated in the full MMALE regime and several purely cyclic remapping examples are presented to prove the properties of the remapping method.展开更多
