摘要: Abstract Wind tunnel experiments were conducted to study the effects of blockage and freestream turbulence on streamwise surface pressures in a separation bubble. Mean fluctuating measured near leading edge short axisymmetric cylinders grid-generated smooth flow. found be strongly dependent intensity but little affected by scale. On other hand, both The parameter σ u / (L x /D) 0.15 provided reasonable correlation data for L /D >0.06 . Blockage corrections obtained separation. A ratio 5% caused mean pressure increase magnitude ∼ 15% standard deviation peak 20%. results these demonstrate importance minimizing wind when measuring building models.
