Abstract

A cut-off frequency criterion for contributions for the wind noise generated from the undisturbed and surface regions for a wind noise reduction device, such as wind fence enclosures and semi-porous fabric domes, is given. The calculations of the measured wind noise inside an enclosure assume that contributions from the undisturbed region and the surface region dominate and are physically restricted to turbulence wavelengths that are larger than the enclosure and the same size or smaller than the enclosure, respectively. The cut-off frequency criterion defines the wavelength where the dominant source of wind noise transitions from interactions in the undisturbed region to the surface region. The transition point is determined by considering when a volume enclosed by a wavelength, Vλ, is equal to 100 times the volume enclosed by the reduction device, VE. Wind noise calculations following this criterion are presented for a set of semi-porous fabric domes that are 4 m wide and 2.1 m tall, and three cylindrical wind fences that are 5 m wide and 2.9 m tall, 5 m wide and 5.8 m tall, and 10 m wide and 2.9 m tall.
