| Description |
Detailed pressure measurements on a 1:100 scale model of a tall building have been carried
out. The height of the model is about 76 cm. The model has been instrumented with a total of
60 pressure taps at two different levels at 35 cm and at 60cm. Dynamic pressure data have
been collected for different angles of wind incidence ranging from 0˚ to 360˚ in steps of 15˚
intervals (Zero degree angle of wind incidence corresponds to flow normal to the front
balconies). All the data have been collected for a reference mean velocity of 12 m/s at the
height of the model. Through integration of pressures, statistics of force coefficients based on
body axes have been computed and subsequently translated in to drag and lift coefficients
based on wind axes
