Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental aerodynamic study of a car-type bluff body
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used particle image velocimetry and oil visualization to obtain reliable drag coefficient comparable to the literature and explain, based on the nature of the flow, its variation when changing the rear slant angle from 10° to 40°.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and Numerical Modelling of Flow over Complex Terrain: The Bolund Hill
Boris Conan,Boris Conan,Ashvinkumar Chaudhari,Sandrine Aubrun,Jeroen van Beeck,Jari Hämäläinen,Antti Hellsten +6 more
TL;DR: A first detailed comparison between field measurements, wind-tunnel experiments and numerical simulations is provided, which makes it possible to identify the most difficult features to model: the near-ground flow and the wake of the hill.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sand erosion technique applied to wind resource assessment
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed to use a simple, quick and cheap technique to detect and evaluate the high wind speed areas over an entire model, which can provide valuable qualitative information but can also give an order of magnitude of the local speed-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wind Tunnel Analysis of the Detachment Bubble on Bolund Island
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the flow topology on two scaled models (1:230 and 1:115) of the Bolund Island in two wind tunnels, focusing on the characteristics of the detachment pattern when the wind blows from 270° wind direction and the atmospheric condition is neutral.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turbulence-Kinetic-Energy Budget in the Urban-Like Boundary Layer Using Large-Eddy Simulation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe and explain the turbulent processes at play in the lower part of the urban boundary layer through performing a large-eddy simulation of the flow over an urban-like canopy composed of a staggered array of cubes with packing density of 25%.
