Scaling IEC turbulence to Exact Standard Deviations

Wind & Water Computer-Aided Engineering Software Tools

I was using latest version of Turbsim for generating wind field for Class IA onshore site and was interested to know the ‘physical’ differences between the three options provided (I read that the manual says to choose 0, if unsure).

But I was not aware as to how reasonable is it, to use a constant standard deviation (‘2’ option). Are there any good/bad scenarios for using these options in a smart and a rationale way?

Thanks and Warm Regards,

I think this topic is discussed in turbulence intensity from TrubSim vs Bladed .
Wish that will help.
