The other half of the
equation, he notes, is engineering a smart power grid that can distribute renewable energy, from solar or
wind,
for instance, to charge fleets of EVs.
Scientists could use this theory to calculate peak
wind speed if they had numbers
for the other metrics in the
equation, which could come in handy because
wind speeds need to be measured at several points of a storm, making it difficult to get an accurate reading.
«But if you try to imagine a bedtime math routine, as you might
for reading, the idea of
winding down by completing math
equations doesn't elicit the same interest.
Equations are only valid
for landward
winds, W ≥ 0.
But a trend of lower gas prices, flat power demand and swiftly declining costs
for wind and solar have changed the
equation.
While there are numerable questionable elements in his discussions (such as placing equivalency between a depletable resource, such as a natural gas well, that might produce
for just a few years vs a renewable resource (solar or
wind) that can produce at that same location indefinitely), his
equations simply do not stand up to even cursory scrutiny.
The corresponding working quasilinear wave
equation for the barotropic azonal stream function Ψm ′ of the forced waves with m = 6, 7, and 8 (m waves) with nonzero right - hand side (forcing + eddy friction) yields (34) u˜ ∂ ∂ x (∂ 2Ψm ′ ∂ x2 + ∂ 2Ψm ′ ∂ y2) + β˜ ∂ Ψm ′ ∂ x = 2Ω sin ϕ cos2 ϕT˜u˜ ∂ Tm ′ ∂ x − 2Ω sin ϕcos2 ϕHκu˜ ∂ hor, m ∂ x − (kha2 + kzH2)(∂ 2Ψm ′ ∂ x2 + ∂ 2Ψm ′ ∂ y2), [S3] where x = aλ and y = a ln -LSB-(1 + sin ϕ) / cos ϕ] are the coordinates of the Mercator projection of Earth's sphere, with λ as the longitude, H is the characteristic value of the atmospheric density vertical scale, T˜ is a constant reference temperature at the EBL, Tm ′ is the m component of azonal temperature at this level, u˜ = u ¯ / cos ϕ, κ is the ratio of the zonally averaged module of the geostrophic
wind at the top of the PBL to that at the EBL (53), hor, m is the m component of the large - scale orography height, and kh and kz are the horizontal and vertical eddy diffusion coefficients.
This
equation implicitly assumes that Tmax is unaffected by changes in
wind and is the same as it is
for calm conditions.
And yet despite those problems it has been possible
for some time to use CFD models of the N - S
equations to design complete aircraft and consequently greatly reduce the necessity
for the use of very large
wind tunnels (and the associated expense).
We know R1 + R2 = R = εσT ^ 4 We could use a «bulk
equation»
for L if we knew the air temperature & specific humidity +
wind speed at reference heights.
So the
equation has a term
for the humidity 10m (or some other reference height) above the ocean surface, and the
wind speed (because that is the main mechanism
for moving the less saturated air to the surface).
For example, if water is being warmed on the surface, and then that warmer water is moved down to the deep ocean due to trade
winds during La Nina, changing
equations to volume and total energy is unnecessary.»
You look that
equation up in a manual on aerodynamics, run some easy «
wind tunnel» tests with a little house fan, factor that in and find you are very close (close enough
for your purposes).
