Abstract: Methods for mitigating the effects of wind on aerospace launch facilities are presented using examples from actual design cases. Wind effects considered include: wind loads for structure survival in extreme wind events, ...

Abstract: Mean and peak wind loads on flat rectangular or circular heliostats were measured on models in a boundary layer wind tunnel which included an atmospheric surface layer simulation. Horizontal ...

Abstract: The statistical nature of the fluctuating pressures associated with the separation-reattachment flow were studied for a two-dimensional square prism in uniform flow for low (0.33 percent) and ...

Abstract: Current standard test methods of ASTM and Underwriter's Laboratories for wind resistance of shingles subject a small test deck of shingles, that have been sealed under heated conditions, to a fan-induced airstream impinging ...
