Comparison of Pressure Coefficients of Cube Silsoe with the Results in the Wind Tunnel of Faculty of Civil Engineering in Bratislava

Abstract:

At the small town of Silsoe, UK , under the leadership of engineer Richards the model was made up with edge of the cube 6 m, used for research of wind on the model. Cube named Silsoe took over many laboratories in the world and diminished cube was tested in the wind tunnel. The aim of our study was to compare recently built the wind tunnel Faculty of Civil Engineering in Bratislava with other sites in the world. Suitable for this purpose served just cube model Silsoe of the edge of 200 mm, which was tested in the wind tunnel of Faculty of Civil Engineering and subsequently also in the workplace at VZLU Prague. The model coefficients were measured the pressure on the cladding of cube and compared with the other measurements. The test results are presented in this paper.
