Pedestrian level wind studies at the Wright brothers facility
AbstractThe methods and techniques used to measure pedestrian wind speeds at the Wright Brothers Facility are reviewed. A careful reexamination of the work of Hunt, et al. [5] and Murakami, et al. [8] shows that by changing the originally proposed constants used in calculating the ‘Equivalent Average’ in [3], use of the ‘Equivalent Average’ with a criteria like Melbourne's [7] can be made consistant with the results of Hunt and Murakami. The use of a hot-wire, Irwin's probe [6], and the erosion of particles for measuring pedestrian level winds in a wind tunnel are reviewed. A new particle for use in erosion tests is proposed.
