The effects of porous wind fence on the pressure characteristics around low-rise building model were investigated experimentally. Flow characteristics of velocities and turbulences behind wind fence were measured using hot-wire anemometer The wind fence characterize by varying the porosity of 0%, 20% and the distances from the wind fence from 1H to 9H with maintaining the uniform flow velocity of 6 m/s. we investigated the overall characterization of the low-rise building by measuring pressure seventy four on model. The effects of porosity fences varied with the porosity of the fence and measurement locations(1H-9H). The 20% porosity proved to be effective for the protection area of 1H to 3H, but the 40% porosity proved to be effective for the protection area of 4H to 6H.

The 0% porosity proved to be effective for the protection area of 4H to 6H, but the 40% porosity proved to be effective for the protection area of 1H to 6H. The low-rise building of front face was found to be best wind fence for decreasing the mean, maximum and minimum pressure fluctuation.

We have conducted the study about the shelter effect against the wind by using the wind fence with various porosities and the measured distance from the wind fence, in three different types of it ; (Circle wind fence, Vertical wind fence, Horizontal wind fence) The shelter effect and turbulence characteristics of the selected wind barrier is throughly investigated by wind tunnel test. flow characteristics of velocities and turbulences behind wind fence were measured using hot-wire anemometer. we characterize the turbulence behind the wind fence by varying the porosity of 0 %, 20 %, 40%, and 60%, and the distances from the wind fence from 1 H to 9 H with maintaining the uniform flow velocity of 6 m/s. In addition, we investigated the overall characterization of the wind fence by measuring total of twenty eight points on the wind fence, which forms the lattice structure on it with seven points in lateral direction and four points in vertical direction. The results of analysis from the circle wind fence indicate that the degree of the turbulence is lowered and the velocity of the wind is decreased when the porosity of 40 % are used at the distance from 3 H to 9 H. On the other hand, the vertical, horizontal wind fence with the porosity of 20% is more advantageous at the distance of 2 H to 9 H. For the effectiveness of the wind fence depending on the position, the center part is the greatest and it decreases at the edges with 10 % to 30 % less than that of at the center.
