Abstract: Pressures, loads, dynamic responses and adverse pedestrian‐level environments caused by wind action on buildings and structures are commonly determined by physical modeling in wind tunnels. Accurate quantitative evaluation ...

Abstract: Physical modeling to quantify wind effects for either wind‐engineering design or research requires simultaneous similarity for two distinct physical phenomena. The initial consideration is similarity of the desired natural ...

Abstract: Requirements for similarity of natural ventilation in wind tunnel models and experimental methods for evaluating its effectiveness are reviewed and tested in a 1:25 wind tunnel model of the Florida Solar Energy Center ...
