Abstract Information on pedestrian-level wind (PLW) speed for wind comfort assessment can
be obtained by wind-tunnel measurements or Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) …

This Handbook consolidates authoritative and state-of-the-art information from the large
number of disciplines used in Experimental Fluid Mechanics into a readable desk reference …

Hot-wire anemometry (HWA) is one of the basic measuring techniques used by research
scientists and engineers working in fluid mechanics. It is applicable to a wide variety of flows …

An experimental investigation of the flow around surface-mounted cubes in both uniform,
irrotational and sheared, turbulent flows is described. The shear flow was a simulated …

This 1985 book provides a summary of the theory and practice of the hot wire anemometer,
an instrument used to measure the speed of fluid flow. Many techniques and uses of this …

Turbulence is still an unsolved issue with enormous implications in several fields, from the
turbulent wakes on moving objects to the accumulation of heat in the built environment or …

Using a pulsed-wire anemometer, extensive measurements have been made in the wakes
of two-dimensional solid and porous fences immersed in the constant-stress region of a …

The reattaching turbulent shear layer behind a two-dimensional backward-facing step was
studied experimentally. The main objectives were (i) to investigate the behavior of the large …

Wind tunnel measurements have been made of the streamwise mean and turbulent
velocities over a rough, bell‐shaped, two‐dimensional hill, with height h and maximum …

A fluid flowing past a boundary exerts normal and tangential stresses on it. Normal stresses
or pressures are readily measured by connecting a small hole on the surface to a …
