Abstract
The inability to satisfy Reynolds number similarity in wind tunnel modelling of low-rise structures with circular features, and the lack of full-scale results have left designers with inadequate information for the design of circular storage bins, silos and tanks against wind loading. In this paper, wind tunnel pressure measurements on scale models of low-rise cylindrical structures carried out at Reynolds numbers > 2 × 10 5 are described. Circumferential wall pressure distributions and roof pressures for a range of aspect ratios and roof configurations are presented.
