Abstract
Shape coefficients of a single traverse and twin branch lines are examined through wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulations under different angle of attacks and wind speeds. It was found that the shape coefficient at angle of attack equaling to 0 is obviously smaller than the others. And the effects of Reynolds number are also large. The numerical results give difference between cases reaching 20 %, however, the experimental ones only 1.17 %. It is because that the initial condition of CFD is idealized but the wind tunnel experiment is closer to the reality.
