This book was released on 1984 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This meeting reviewed the current status of new wind tunnel facilities and gave a perspective of recent developments in testing techniques and fluid motion problems related to wind tunnel testing. It was organized in five sessions. The session on Facilities dealt almost exclusively with cryogenic wind tunnels. The National Transonic Facility is operational and valuable experience already has been gained, not only on operational aspects but also on model design. The major European countries are putting considerable effort into the joint European Transonic Wind Tunnel. The emphasis on cryogenics was again highlighted in the session on Fluid Motion Problems, addressing such areas as condensation and nonadiabatic wall effects, as well as model test results from a cryogenic facility. Flow quality was also given prominence. That conventional wind tunnels are still the backbone of the Testing Establishment was demonstrated in the three sessions of Testing Techniques. The presentations covered a large variety of topics including support interference, dynamic testing, inlet/engine/afterbody related testing, store separation, half-model testing technique, aero-acoustic measurements and wind tunnel-flight data comparisons.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wind tunnel continues to be the main instrument for providing experimental aerodynamic data for the purpose of load and performance evaluation and for verification of theoretical results. In both cases it is imperative that the user has confidence in the quality of the results, which means that they must have information as to what accuracy to attach to the data. The quality of wind tunnel results depends upon both the accuracy of measurements and the imperfections provided by the wind tunnel environment. It was the purpose of this symposium to try to define what accuracy has presently been achieved in modern facilities and to compare these achievements with the actual demands of the user. Session topics included: Wind tunnel data comparisons; Uncertainties analysis; Drag accuracy achievements; Facility problems; Simulation problems; Progress in testing techniques; Requirements.

Download or read book Wind Tunnel Testing of High Rise Buildings written by Peter Irwin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960s, wind tunnel testing has become a commonly used tool in the design of tall buildings. It was pioneered, in large part, during the design of the World Trade Center Towers in New York. Since those early days of wind engineering, wind tunnel testing techniques have developed in sophistication, but these techniques are not widely understood by the designers using the results. As a direct result, the CTBUH Wind Engineering Working Group was formed to develop a concise guide for the non-specialist. The primary goal of this guide is to provide an overview of the wind tunnel testing process for design professionals. This knowledge allows readers to ask the correct questions of their wind engineering consultants throughout the design process. This is not an in-depth guide to the technical intricacies of wind tunnel testing, it focusses instead on the information the design community needs, including: a unique methodology for the presentation of wind tunnel results to allow straightforward comparison of results from different wind tunnel laboratories. advice on when a tall building is likely to be sufficiently sensitive to wind effects to benefit from a wind tunnel test background for assessing whether design codes and standards are applicable details of the types of tests that are commonly conducted descriptions of the fundamentals of wind climate and the interaction of wind and tall buildings This unique book is an essential guide for all designers of tall buildings, and anyone else interested in the process of wind tunnel testing for tall buildings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Joint Institute for Aeronautics and Acoustics at Stanford University was established in October 1973 to provide an academic environment for long-term cooperative research between Stanford and NASA Ames Research Center. Since its establishment, the Institute has conducted theoretical and experimental work in the areas of aerodynamics, acoustics, fluid mechanics, flight dynamics, guidance and control, and human factors. This research has involved Stanford faculty, research associates, graduate students, and many distinguished visitors in collaborative efforts with the research staff of NASA Ames Research Center. The occasion of the Institute's tenth anniversary was used to reflect back on where that research has brought us, and to consider where our endeavors should be directed next. Thus, an International Symposium was held to review recent advances in the fields relevant to the activities of the Institute and to discuss the areas of research to be undertaken in the future. This anniversary was also chosen as an opportunity to honor one of the Institute's founders and its director, Professor Krishnamurty Karamcheti. It has been his crea tive inspiration that has provided the ideal research environment at the Joint Institute.
