Fluid Dynamical Models for Determining Wind Characteristics and Their Application in Pakistan

该项目为博士的研究提供支持。迈阿密大学的Mariano A. Estoque和T. Nejat Veziroglu，以及巴基斯坦适当技术发展组织的A. A. Junejo博士和国家电力研究所的M.Y. Akhtar博士，共同开发了确定复杂地形上详细风分布的模型，并将这些模型应用于巴基斯坦选定的地区。这些模型的输入是主流流场和地形高程的地理分布。建模结果预计将为准备巴基斯坦选定地区的详细风地图集提供数据。这将为该国发展风能提供重要资料，包括农业和工业用途。美国-巴基斯坦项目支持科学家的技术能力和设施相辅相成的联合研究，并支持可能使两国都受益的联合研究。本项目满足这些条件。美国研究人员多年来一直致力于能源研究，取得了可观的成果并发表了大量论文。埃斯托克博士在气象学和边界层研究方面有着丰富的研究经验。巴基斯坦合作者是在各自领域有长期研究经验的合格科学家。这项研究对巴基斯坦特别重要，因为巴基斯坦对发展可再生能源很感兴趣。这对美国来说也很重要，因为对世界各地的天气状况进行建模可以更好地了解美国的天气。该项目得到了巴基斯坦政府的支持，巴基斯坦政府为该国科学家开展的活动提供了费用。​该项目的资助时间为三年，具体安排如下：迈阿密大学，INT-8709973 FY87：美国$11,000 (INT) +美国$10,000 (ECES) + SFC$14,000（巴基斯坦货币）us $11,000 (int) + us $10,000 (eces) 89: us $11,000 (int) + us $10,000 （eces）巴基斯坦适当技术发展组织将由巴基斯坦科技部资助

This project provides support for research, by Drs. Mariano A. Estoque and T. Nejat Veziroglu of the University of Miami, and by Dr. A. A. Junejo of Pakistan's Appropriate Technology Development Organization, and Dr. M.Y. Akhtar of the National Institute of Power, to develop models for determining detailed wind distribution over complex terrain, and to apply the models to selected regions of Pakistan. Input for these models are the prevailing flow field and geographical distribution of the terrain elevation. The modeling results are expected to provide data for preparing detailed wind atlases for selected regions of Pakistan. These will provide important information for the development of wind energy in that country, both for agriculture and industrial use. The U.S.-Pakistan Program supports joint research where the technical capabilities of scientists and the facilities complement each other, and where the research is likely to benefit both countries. These conditions are met in this project. The U.S. researchers have worked on energy research for many years with considerable results and publications. Dr. Estoque has extensive research experience in meteorology and boundary layer studies. The Pakistani collaborators are well-qualified scientists with long research experience in their fields. The research is of particular importance to Pakistan because of its interest in developing renewable energy sources. It is also important to the U.S. since modeling weather conditions in various regions of the world could lead to better understanding of the weather in the U.S. The project has the support of the Government of Pakistan which is providing the costs of the activities to be carried by that country's scientists. The project is to be funded over three years as follows: 1. University of Miami, INT-8709973 FY87: U.S.$11,000 (INT) + U.S.$10,000 (ECES) + SFC$14,000 (Pakistani currency) FY88: U.S.$11,000 (INT) + U.S.$10,000 (ECES) 89: U.S.$11,000 (INT) + U.S.$10,000 (ECES) 2. Pakistan's Appropriate Technology Development Organization To be funded by Pakistan's Ministry of Science and Technology
