Table 1 Review of crosswind reduction effects of wind barriers
From: Numerical simulation and validation of local wind environment of twin-box girder with wind barriers
Researcher | Method | Topic |
|---|---|---|
Judd et al., 1996 | Wind tunnel test | overall shelter effectiveness of multiple array barrier greater than single barrier |
Hong et al., 2015 | CFD modelling | wind speed reduction of barrier fence prediction |
Kozmar et al., 2012 | Wind tunnel test | porosity and height as two key parameters, optimal barrier with 30% porosity and 5Â m height |
Frank and Ruck, 2005 | Wind tunnel test | wind-protected area of consecutively arranged windbreaks larger than single windbreak |
Dong et al., 2007 | Wind tunnel test | optimal porosity approximately 0.2 or 0.3 |
Santiago et al., 2007 | Numerical simulation | best porosity for downwind shelter is 0.35 |
