The aim of this paper is to present a detailed method for investigating the behavior of a tall and slender building subjected to turbulent wind action. The main objective of the study is to provide a calculation method of the dynamic response based on the wind tunnel experimental tests results, in orders to achieve a clear image of wind effects on such buildings. Wind tunnel tests were performed on...
Small-scale energy-generating systems are being increasingly integrated into built environment, and the use of renewable energies is now spreading to old towns in developing countries. Despite the promise of free energy, the high-tech appearance of the harnessing tools of renewables has provoked criticism because of the incompatibility with the cultural/environmental characteristics of older towns...
Paper confers a newfangled empirical model to figure, flicker, instigated in the horizontal axis, upwind turbine, due to vertical wind shear, in continuous operation. Postulations, boundary curbs and limitations of the model are also depicted. In the proposed model, vertical wind shear, number of blades, blade length and tower height are echoed. The elegance of the model is that, it is expedient to...
Wind catchers are structures used for natural ventilation using the two basic principles of stack effect and wind induced natural ventilation and has recently attracted a lot of attention due to relying only on the free sustainable energy of wind and hence being able to reduce energy expenditure and greenhouse gas emission to a considerable amount. Even though this structures have been used for thousands...
This paper investigates the performance of a wind-induced natural ventilation tower through an empirical analysis in hot and humid climatic conditions. There are mainly two methods for inducing natural ventilation; namely stack ventilation and wind-induced ventilation. Due to the relatively lower difference between the indoor and outdoor temperature in hot and humid conditions, stack ventilation method...
Wind loads on buildings in realistic environments may be considerably different from those measured on isolated buildings. Neighboring structures may either decrease or increase the flow-induced forces on the building being considered. In this paper a rigid model wind tunnel test under conventional terrain C wind field was performed to the 1:250 reduced-scale model of a high-rise building with three...
A residential size hybrid system powered by wind and solar Energy has been developed on Frostburg State University campus to supply a small building through net metering. The main purpose of the demonstration system is to develop a knowledge base on residential electric generation from wind and solar energy in Western Maryland and the surrounding area. The paper discusses the pre-design study for...
