Measurements of flow parameters for 2-D flow around rectangular prisms of square and rectangle cross-sections located on the ground

Abstract

The results of measurements of 2-D flow around rectangular prisms of square and rectangle cross-sections in wind tunnel are presented in this paper. The results include pressure and standard deviation distributions over the model walls, components of velocity vectors and statistical moments for fluctuations of the velocity in the wind tunnel measuring space. The arrangements of models and the range of measurements have been matched in order to the results could be used to the calibration of the numerical turbulence model and to the verification of computer calculations for the civil engineering problems. The values of parameters have been presented in graphs and subsequently used in a comparative analysis of the flows around both models.
