Wind-Tunnel Testing of Structures [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of the Engineering Mechanics Division, 1977
Civil engineers, architects, and city planners are beginning to use design data derived from wind-tunnel tests as extensively as aeronautical engineers have for many years. This evolution of wind engineering has been made possible by development of special meteorological wind tunnels that simulate essential characteristics of natural boundary-layer ...

Wind Tunnel Tests of Speed-Skier [PDF]

open access: possible, 2010
Speed-skier wind tunnel tests have been carried out in a large facility with negligible blockage effect. The main goal of the activity was the aerodynamic effect of athlete position but, additionally, also a few tests on the skier equipment were performed.

Wind Tunnel Tests

2012
The wind tunnel tests have been widely used for wind resistant design of bridges, because they can provide reliable information on the wind-induced forces and responses of bridges. In this chapter, types of wind tunnel tests for wind resistant design of bridges will be listed and their brief explanations will be given first.
