  • The Aerodynamic Behavior of Tall Buildings with Various Side and Corner Modifications under Different Terrain Conditions in a Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel:Subtitle
Title: The Aerodynamic Behavior of Tall Buildings with Various Side and Corner Modifications under Different Terrain Conditions in a Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel:Subtitle
This study investigates the complementary effects of side and corner modification strategies for the aerodynamic performance of tall buildings. A total of 81 doubly symmetric models were examined. High-frequency force balance (HFFB) wind tunnel testing was conducted at the University of Florida’s (UF) boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT), an NSF-sponsored Natural Hazard Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) Experimental Facility. The 81 models were examined under two approach flow conditions, which are suburban and open terrains. For each flow condition, the models were tested under 10 different wind angles from 0° to 45°. The base responses were recorded using a 6-axis load cell. A total of 1620 tests (81 models × 2 flow conditions × 10 wind angles) were performed in the BLWT at UF. Details are provided in the report document.  more » « less

    This study leverages a novel multi-fan flow-control instrument and a mechanized roughness element grid to simulate large- and small-scale turbulent features of atmospheric flows in a large boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT). The flow-control instrument, termed the flow field modulator (FFM), is a computer-controlled 3 m × 6 m (2D) fan array located at the University of Florida (UF) Natural Hazard Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) Experimental Facility. The system comprises 319 modular hexagonal aluminum cells, each equipped with shrouded three-blade corotating propellers. The FFM enables the active generation of large-scale turbulent structures by replicating user-specified velocity time signals to inject low-frequency fluctuations into BLWT flows. In the present work, the FFM operated in conjunction with a mechanized roughness element grid, called the Terraformer, located downstream of the FFM array. The Terraformer aided in the production of near-wall turbulent mixing through precise adjustment of the height of the roughness elements. A series of BLWT velocity profile measurement experiments were carried out at the UF BLWT test section for a set of turbulence intensity and integral length scale regimes. Input commands to the FFM and Terraformer were iteratively updated via a governing convergence algorithm (GCA) to achieve user-specified mean and turbulent flow statistics. Results demonstrate the capabilities of the FFM for significantly increasing the longitudinal integral length scales compared to conventional BLWT approaches (i.e., no active large-scale turbulence generation). The study also highlights the efficacy of the GCA scheme for attaining prescribed target mean and turbulent flow conditions at the measurement location.

    This dataset comprises surface pressure and 3D flow velocity data collected in a large boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT) at the University of Florida (UF) Natural Hazard Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) Experimental Facility (EF). Wind pressures were monitored on the surface of a 1:20 scale model of the Texas Tech University (TTU) Wind Engineering Research Field Laboratory (WERFL) experimental building. The TTU building model was immersed in a wide range of turbulent boundary layer flows with prescribed turbulence intensity and integral length scales. Control of large-scale turbulent scales was enabled by an active multi-fan flow control instrument system termed Flow Field Modulator (FFM). The FFM system enabled the injection of slowly varying (low frequency) turbulent gust structures to achieve significantly greater integral length scales than traditional BLWT approaches. The dataset complies with DesignSafe-CI's best practices for collection and data level curation. Additional documentation and data processing procedures applied to the data are available in the report.

    This study applies computationally efficient shallow neural networks to predict topographic effect multipliers directly from digital elevation data obtained from complex terrain, such as mountainous areas. Data were obtained from boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT) modeling of surface wind flow over six regions in mainland Puerto Rico and its municipal islands. The results demonstrate an improvement over linear regression models, even for computationally efficient low neuron count and single hidden layer models. The paper proposes the development of a global BLWT data atlas to inform development of methods to predict topographic wind speedup for a diverse range of topography and surface roughness conditions. It also identifies knowledge gaps that could prevent standardization of data collected from different BLWT experimental designs.

    This project has investigated the wind-induced pressure loads on a realistic low-rise building within an urban area (Y2E2 building in Stanford Engineering Quad). Experiments were conducted at two wind tunnels; the NHERI Wall of Wind (WOW) wind tunnel at the Florida International University facility, and the NHERI terraformer Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel at the University of Florida (UF). First, the building is considered as isolated with suburban terrain in both WT facilities. Consequently, the surrounding buildings were included onto the turntable, and pressure measurements were conducted on the target building. In all experiments, the measurements were performed across a total of 28 wind directions, encompassing the complete wind rose.

    Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel (BLWT) facilities are commonly used for assessing wind loads on structures. Although BLWT facilities routinely match 1st and 2nd-order wind profile models, evidence suggests that turbulence in the roughness sublayer and the inertial sublayer exhibit non-Gaussian higher-order properties. These non-Gaussian properties can influence peak wind pressures, which govern certain structural limit states and play an important role in design. In the first part of this project, Machine learning (ML) methods are employed to identify relationships between roughness element configurations and higher-order statistical properties of the wind field. A semi-automated framework with an active learning portion and a wind tunnel experimental procedure is developed. The learning framework adaptively selects roughness profiles and launches new experiments to identify differing profiles with second-order equivalent flow as quantified by turbulence intensity. The premise is that second-order equivalent wind fields can differ in higher-order properties and therefore extreme value derived peak loads may differ. Over the course of this project, the turbulence profiles from hundreds of different Terraformer roughness element configurations were collected, providing a very rich dataset of boundary layer flow as a function of upwind fetch. Experiment 1 provides the metadata to describe and interpret measured wind profiles at the UFBLWT for a data set collected for the Benchmark experiments and 3 different phases: 1) Sinusoidal waves experiments, 2) Shape study experiments and, 3) Random field experiments. Experiment 2 of this dataset presents the results of experiments conducted in the UFBLWT, with a focus on measuring turbulence characteristics and pressure coefficients on a bluff body under varying terrain roughness configurations. The dataset provides valuable insights into the influence of upwind fetch and surface roughness on wind-induced forces, contributing to improved modeling and prediction of wind loads on structures. Based on the Terraformer configurations in experiment 1, select configurations (Benchmark and Phase 1 Terraformer configurations only) were chosen for bluff body experiments, along with additional approach turbulence measurements at a lateral location to the model. This dataset includes three key components for Benchmark and Phase 1 Terraformer configurations: reference wind velocity (uRef), lateral approach flow profiles (LatFlow), and pressure coefficients (Cpdata) on the bluff body.
