The boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT), which reproduces the increase of wind speed and the propagation of mechanically induced turbulence upwards from the ground, owes its development and validation to measurements of surface pressures, building motions, and other wind effects on full-scale structures. Computational fluid dynamics models are now considered useful adjuncts for some tasks in wind engineering,...
