Thesis
Wind flow structures and wind forces in forests
- Abstract:
-
This thesis describes a series of 1:75 scale wind tunnel experiments investigating the wind flow over, and through, three different forest models and the resultant wind loading on individual model trees. The experiments were designed to lead to a quantitative assessment of the wind stability of the particular forest arrangements and also to permit a study of the coherent gust structures in the flow. Forest canopy flow is dominated by a plane mixing layer flow regime with a shear layer close t...
