The Measurement of Pressures on the Cube Model in VZLU in Prague and BLWT Bratislava

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper deals with experimental measurement of pressures on the cube made in the wind tunnel of Aerospace Research and Test Establishment (VZLU) in Prague Letnany and calibrating the wind tunnel of Faculty of Civil Engineering in the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. The basis for the construction of the cube model in 1:30 scale was the cube in-situ with dimensions of 6 m in Great Britain in town called Silsoe. It describes the scope and application in practice.
