In spite of fast growing of prediction codes, there is still not negligible uncertainty in their results. This uncertainty affects on the turbine structural design and power production prediction. With the growing size of wind turbine, reducing this uncertainty is becoming one of critical issues for high performance and efficient wind turbine design. In this respect, there are international efforts to evaluate and tune prediction codes of wind turbine. As the reference data for this purpose, field test data is not appropriate because of its uncontrollable wind characteristics and its inherent uncertainty. Wind tunnel can provide controllable wind. For this reason, NREL has done the full scale test of the 10m turbine at NASA-Ames. With this reference data, a blind comparison has been done with participation of 18 organizations with 19 modeling tools. The results were not favorable. In Europe, a similar project is going on. Nine organizations from five countries are participating in the MEXICO project to do full scale wind tunnel tests and calculation with prediction codes. In this study. these two projects were reviewed in respect of wind tunnel test and its contribution. As a conclusion, it is suggested that scale model wind tunnel tests can be a complementary tool to calculation codes which were evaluated worse than expected.

In this paper, aerodynamic properties and improvements of the ${\pi}-shaped$ stiffening girder is studied by wind tunnel tests in steel composite cable stayed bridge. As an improvement device, fairing, extension, post and flap is tested. and the best improved section is selected and estimated on angles of attack, damping ratios and turbulent flows. It is shown that the selected fairing is effective to improve the aerodynamic stability. And this study can be utilized as a database of wind-resistant methodology of steel composite cable stayed bridge.

The thesis is for gust factor needing when calculate the wind resistance design. For the gust factor, to the membrane structural model, carry through the wind tunnel test and the static load test. Therefore, at first through the tensile test of the fabric material, designate the material of the membrane structural model. Then, to saddle, wave, arch and point four kinds of basic shape membrane structural models, carry on the wind tunnel test, determine their dynamic load and distortion on lateral direction. Finally, according to distort situation of the membrane structure in the wind tunnel test, carry on the static load experiment outside of the wind tunnel, calculate static load which corresponding with distort. According to dynamic load and the static load, figure out gust factor of these kinds of basic membrane structure.

A Wind tunnel test for a high speed ground vehicle was conducted to investigate the aerodynamic interactions between the vehicle and a solid channel. The free stream velocity was 30m/see and Reynolds number per unit length was $3.1{\times}10^5/m$. Experimental devices such as a variable channel ground and guide way were used for the test. As the vehicle was close to the channel ground and guide way, lift was significantly increased, drag was slightly decreased and pitching moments were restricted to augment static stability. Using smoke-wire, flow visualization was made to confirm these results by comparing the channel and non-channel flow characteristics of the vehicle. Under the influence of the channel ground and guide way, the flow beneath the vehicle was not discharged outside wing end plates, which was the major reason of the increase in lift of the vehicle.

This study summarizes basic results on the characteristics of mean wind pressure distribution on rectangular low-rise buildings with various breadths and depths through simultaneous multi-point wind pressure test. 5 types of rectangular wind pressure test models with various breadths and depths have been made for this study. Wind pressure tests are conducted on the Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel at Kumoh National Institute of Technology. The characteristics of mean wind pressure distribution with respect to various breadths and depths of low-rise buildings are analyzed into windward face, leeward face and side faces of building. From the results, new wind pressure coefficients and simplified wind load estimating formula for the resonable design of the structural frames of low-rise building were proposed.
