This article deals with experimental investigation of a wind pressure distribution on multispan roofs of halls. The wind pressure distribution on the structures is an important parameter in terms of wind load calculation. For multispan roofs it is possible to find these values in Eurocode 1991-1-4, but without an influence of surrounding structures. The series of parametric wind tunnel studies was carried out in BLWT to investigate the effects of in-line standing cylinders near the hall. Measurements were made in turbulent wind flow for two reference wind speeds and varying wind directions. The experimentally obtained cpe values were compared with the conservative values in EN 1991-1-4 for multispan roofs.

This article deals with experimental investigation of air flow around in – line standing circular cylinders and influence of nearby standing hall on external wind pressure distribution. The wind pressure distribution on the structures is an important parameter in terms of wind load calculation. For vertical circular cylinders in a row arrangement only wind force coefficient is possible find in Eurocode. 1991-1-4. External wind pressure coefficient depends on wind direction and the ratio of distance and diameter b. Influence of nearby standing structure is not possible find in Eurocode. The series of parametric wind tunnel studies was carried out in Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel (BLWT) STU to investigate the external wind pressure coefficient in turbulent wind flow. Experimental measurements were performed in BLWT for 2 reference wind speeds, which fulfilled flow similarity of prototype and model. We have compared the results of free in - line standing 3 circular cylinder and influence of hall on distribution of wind pressure at 3 height levels in turbulent wind flow and these results were compared with values in EN 1991-1-4.

An experimental investigation has been performed to determine the constant temperature heat transfer behavior on the upper surface of a rectangular plate with a chord length of 122 cm (48 in.), a width of 81.3 cm (32 in.) and a thickness aspect ratio of 6/1. Special side attachments were made in order to maintain approximately two-dimensional flow over the finite width body when exposed to varying wind directions. The angle of attack was 40 deg or greater. Quasi-local values of STRe were found to be 200 percent higher than wind tunnel values and 300 percent higher than analytical predictions. The disturbance intensity of the wind flow was in the range of 20 to 50 percent and is thought to be related to the increase in heat transfer since the flow over the plate was found to be laminar.

This paper aims to study the wind flow characteristics and to analyze the wind pressure distribution on the surfaces around an irregular octagonal plan shape building model. There is a central open space in plan to provide more surface area around the building for natural ventilation. Plan area of the building is 300 m2(excluding the open space) and height is 50 m. Steady state flow of wind with 5% turbulence (moderate turbulence) under atmospheric boundary layer has been taken in the study. Numerical simulation with standard k-e model using ANSYS (CFX) software has been used for the purpose. Flow characteristics has been studied in terms of flow separation, reattachment of flow, creation of wakes and vortices. The surface pressure generated around the model has been studied in terms of coefficient of pressure. The model is symmetrical about both the axes in plan. Hence, study for different wind angle of attacks from 0° to 90° @ 30° interval has been conducted. The flow characteristics and unusual or critical coefficient of pressure on surfaces of the model observed have been discussed. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091760 Full Text: PDF

Fans used in modern buildings ventilation systems make up a large part of the building‘s total energy demand. In order to ensure proper air quality and high efficiency of ventilation systems, it is necessary to search new solutions. One of the possible ways is to use renewable energy technologies. Currently it is a widespread use of wind energy in turboventilators. Major part of previous researches are related to tests of different construction turboventilators, determination of their characteristics and analysis of results. However, assessment of the current researches situation indicates the lack of fundamental researches of air flows interaction processes impact to turboventilators efficiency. In addition, researchers on hybrid turboventilators still search for solutions to increase the ventilation functionality when there is not enough wind power for operation of these devices. In order to determine the significance of these processes in more detail, in the present study, two different types of turboventilators are experimentally tested in two different ways. In one case, their rotors are rotated by an additional source of energy, in another case they are tested under different wind speed conditions. The aim of research is to assess not only the characteristics of the testes devices under normal conditions, but also their ventilation potential without wind flow. The results of experimental investigation showed that under normal operation conditions of the device, a large part of the extracted air flow is impacted by rotor rotation and ejection phenomenon. Empirical equations and investigation results presented in the paper can be useful for comparing other experiments and improving the functionality of the device at low wind speeds. Santrauka Šiuolaikinių pastatų vėdinimo sistemose naudojami ventiliatoriai sudaro didelę dalį pastato bendrojo energijos poreikio. Siekiant užtikrinti tinkamą oro kokybę ir aukštą vėdinimo sistemų efektyvumą, būtina ieškoti naujų sprendimų. Vienas iš galimų būdų – atsinaujinančią energiją naudojančių technologijų taikymas. Šiuo metu plačiai paplitęs būdas naudoti vėjo energiją turboventiliatoriuose. Didžioji dalis ankstesniuose moksliniuose tyrimuose atliktų eksperimentų susiję su skirtingų konstrukcijų turboventiliatorių bandymais, jų charakteristikų nustatymu ir rezultatų palyginimu. Visgi, vertinant esamą mokslinių tyrimų situaciją, pastebima, jog trūksta fundamentalių tyrimų nagrinėjant oro srautų sąveikos procesų įtaką turboventiliatorių efektyvumui. Be to, atliekamuose tyrimuose su hibridiniais tokio tipo įrenginiais tebeieškoma sprendimų, kaip padidinti vėdinimo funkcionalumą, kai nepakanka vėjo srauto įrenginiui veikti. Siekiant detaliau nustatyti minėtų procesų svarbą, pristatomame tyrime dviem skirtingais metodais eksperimentiškai bandomi du skirtingo tipo turboventiliatoriai. Vienu atveju jų rotoriai sukami papildomu energijos šaltiniu, kitu atveju bandomi skirtingomis vėjo greičių sąlygomis. Tyrimų metu siekiama įvertinti ne tik bandomų įrenginių charakteristikas veikiant įprastomis sąlygomis, bet ir jų vėdinimo potencialą be vėjo srauto. Eksperimentinių tyrimų rezultatai parodė, jog įrenginiui veikiant įprastomis sąlygomis didelė dalis ištraukiamojo oro srauto veikiama rotorių sukimosi bei ežekcijos reiškinio. Straipsnyje pateiktos empirinės lygtys ir tyrimo rezultatai gali būti naudingi lyginant kitus eksperimentus bei tobulinant įrenginio funkcionalumą esant mažam vėjo greičiui.

This paper deals with solution of air flowing around the object - atypical cross section. Result is an important parameter of pressure coefficient on the structure, what is necessary for design of buildings and structures in terms of wind load calculations. Wind tunnel measurements of wind flow and wind pressures distribution around part of the circle were performed in BLWT STU in Bratislava for 24 wind directions and different wind speeds. Measurements were performed using pressure scanner DSA 3217 (Scanivalve) and have shown significant differences between peaks of suction due to wind direction. These results were used for comparison with CFD calculations of flow around the section. This comparison of known pressure coefficient for atypical shape of cross section is the first step for testing other shapes, which are not described in Eurocode.

The external wind pressure coefficients are based on the measurements on the structures without free-end flow near the top of vertical structures. The end-effect factor takes into account reduction of the pressures due to specific flow around the top of atypical building. The article is based on the experimental measurements in BLWT tunnel in Bratislava on the model of building with cross section of the quarter circle. The model was tested in two spaces - in steady and turbulent wind flow, by changing of wind direction and wind velocity. The end-effect factor depending on the wind direction is shown in the graphs.
