In this book, the authors discuss the design and construction, types and usage limitations of wind tunnels. Topics include the use of wind tunnels to analyze wind loading on scaffold structures; the characteristics of the Architecture and Building Research Institute wind tunnel project; analysis of the wind environment and air quality in densely populated areas using wind tunnel experiments.

The wind tunnel balances, comprised by several hardware and software components, provides directly the pursued measurements, with high accuracy and reliability. For these reasons, among others, wind tunnel balances have become a common tool in testing facilities. This chapter starts with a general description of wind tunnel by: 4.

Follow-on sonic boom minimization investigations by McFean 5 indicated that for large slender airplanes during the climb-to-cruise phase of flight, non- N-wave near-field sonic boom signatures exist which depend on the detailed geometry of the airplane and that these non-asymptotic effects could be very important compared to the asymptotic far.
This can be divided into its two components, the frequency of occurrence of a given mean hourly wind and the frequency of occurrence of a given value of pressure within that wind.
It is important to separate this term thus because of the way in which data for this subject are obtained. Design values come from wind tunnel by: A Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Sonic-Boom Pressure Distributions of Bodies of Revolution at Mach, And Mack, Robert J.; and Darden, Christine M.: Wind Tunnel Investigation of the Validity of a Sonic Boom-Minimization Concept.

Now it might be more appropriate to consider program results which serve to establish design goal levels of sonic-boom parameters and to shoti their variation. There have been many attempts to reduce or eliminate the sonic boom.
Such attempts fall into two categories: (1) aerodynamic minimization and (2) exotic configurations. In the first category changes in the entropy and the Bernoulli constant are neglected and equivalent body shapes required to minimize the overpressure, the shock pressure rise and the impulse Cited by: random and correlated bias errors in wind-tunnel experiments than traditional methods.
Consistent with the authors™ contention that nondeterministic simulations are needed in many validation comparisons, a three-step statistical approach is offered for incorporating experimental uncertainties into the computational by: Abstract. The intention of wind-tunnel experiments (or in general physical modelling, including water-tank experiments) is to reproduce the characteristics of the atmospheric boundary layer on a small geometric scale, typically between 1/ th and 1/ th of the real world.
