Description

Wind tunnels have been used for decades by structural engineers to assess the ability of a building to stay up in different conditions. Now they are being used to assess a building's performance in other ways - for example, how wind conditions affect a naturally ventilated building's performance.
This book explains the theory involved in the use of wind tunnels and how they can help architects and engineers during the design process. .
A guide to scale modelling for wind tunnel testing illustrating advantages and limitations
Addresses spaces between buildings and openings in buildings
Models diverse environments such as ventilation systems, high-rise building and impact on pedestrians
