Production of Shear Profiles in a Wind Tunnel by Cylindrical Rods Placed Normal to the Stream
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Extract
The production of required velocity profiles in a duct or wind tunnel is a necessary part of much research aimed at understanding fluid behaviour. Perhaps the most obvious application is the simulation of wind gradients for the study of wind effects on structures, but equally important is the study of diffuser and duct behaviour when subjected to a variety of known and convenient velocity profiles. Furthermore, the effects of the variation in turbulence characteristics within a range of identical velocity profiles produced by different methods are not clearly understood.
