METHODS OF INFORMATION ACQUISITION FOR PLANNING (MEASUREMENTS, WIND TUNNELS, NUMERICAL MODELLING)

4.2.3 Locations of Wind Tunnels

Various facilities operate wind tunnels which are suitable for urban climate studies.

Table 4/3: Locations of wind tunnels

Since the listed wind tunnels vary widely in size, the type of air circulation, the adjustable wind velocities, the type of boundary layers, the friction parameters, the measurement techniques, and the typical areas of application, it is recommended that experts be employed to assist with wind tunnel studies. The above list is given with no claim to its comprehensiveness.
