Abstract
Complementary to field measurement and computational simulation, experimental generation of downburst winds in laboratories is an effective approach to enhance the understanding of the wind characteristics and the induced loads on civil structures. This study reviews the literature in physical simulation of downburst winds, while capturing historic background, highlighting recent advances, and illuminating future trends. A total of 23 testing facilities, classified into three categories of standalone simulators (12 facilities), modified boundary layer wind tunnels (five facilities), and multi-fan wind tunnels (six facilities), are discussed with their key features and representative studies. This paper serves as a valuable reference for future research in physical simulation of downburst winds.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the journal is to provide a means for the publication and interchange of information, on an international basis, on all those aspects of wind engineering that are included in the activities of the International Association for Wind Engineering http://www.iawe.org/. These are: social and economic impact of wind effects; wind characteristics and structure, local wind environments, wind loads and structural response, diffusion, pollutant dispersion and matter transport, wind effects on building heat loss and ventilation, wind effects on transport systems, aerodynamic aspects of wind energy generation, and codification of wind effects.
Papers on these subjects describing full-scale measurements, wind-tunnel simulation studies, computational or theoretical methods are published, as well as papers dealing with the development of techniques and apparatus for wind engineering experiments.
