in this research paper, a 10 minute period measured wind speed data at 10 m, 30 m, and 40 m heights are presented for one of the major provinces of iran. four stations in khuzestan- abadan, hosseyneh, mahshahr, and shushtar- are analyzed to determine the potential of wind power generation in this province. from the primary evaluation and by determining mean wind speed and also the weibull funct...

this paper is an attempt to numerical modeling and experimental study of air flow in the yazdi wind-towers. wind towers has been known as one of the most effective climatic elements in iranian traditional architecture. this paper is an attempt to evaluating yazdi wind-tower to discussion the two main questions: 1. what is the role of orientation of wind-towers span, regarding to climate and hei...

original article   introduction: wind-turbine noise emission and its environmental impact are considerable issues nowadays. considering the importance of the issue, the purpose of this study was to prepare noise map and wind turbines sound characteristics on the largest wind farm of iran. method: this study was carried out in two phases:1) in order to prepare the daytime sound level (ld) noise ...

wind regime and sand grain size are two of the factors that determine the morphology and dynamics of sand dunes in desert areas. regarding the importance of wind effects on sand dunes especially in iran, in this study, khartooran erg was analyzed to determine wind direction and to detect sand source sites. khartooran erg is located on eastern north of iran and lies in khorasan razavi and semnan...

abstract wind erosion of soils and suspended particles in iran is one of the serious environmental and agricultural problems which affect agricultural lands, water reservoirs, irrigation canals, drains and etc. therefore wind erosion control needs attention specially in arid and semi-arid regions. although in recent years, some polymeric materials have been used for improvement of structural st...

abstract in general, garmesh wind in rasht province increases the temperature by 9°c and reduces relative humidity by 47%. the direction of prevailing wind during the garmesh wind is southern and its average speed increases by 2 m/s to 5 m/s. the highest frequency of garmesh wind occurs at 09 and 12 utc in december and january. the occurrence of this phenomenon substantially increases the horiz...

wind erosion climatic factor is a measure of climatic factors explaining the wind erosion erosivity. humidity and wind speed are climatic characteristics that must be considered as the erosion parameters. in this study, linear moment analysis (l-moments) and wind erosion climatic factor were used to evaluate the regional climate’s tendency effect on wind erosion in yazd province. wind erosion c...

in the current research, wind energy potential at yazd synoptic stations, which contain wind data with 10 years statistic period and beyond, including yazd synoptic station (1976-2006), tabass (1987-2006), robate poshte badam (1992-2006), bafgh (1993-2006) and marvast (1997-2006), has been studied. wind data were obtained from the recorded data at yazd meteorology organization. the data were re...

in order to recognize the wind erosion situation of a region, the survey of its windiness is not sufficient and the physical characteristics of earth are of importance too. in fact, the outbreak of dust storms in a region is due to the sensitivity of earth and domination of wind in that region. in this investigation we have tried to find a way for determining the regions in which a dust storm i...
