  • The high-frequency force-balance (HFFB) technique and its subsequent improvements are reviewed in this paper, including a discussion about nonlinear mode shape corrections, multi-force balance measurements, and using HFFB model to identify aeroelastic parameters. To apply the HFFB technique in engineering practice, various validation studies have been conducted. This paper presents the results from an analytical validation study for a simple building with nonlinear mode shapes, three experimental validation studies for more complicated buildings, and a field measurement comparison for a super-tall building in Hong Kong. The results of these validations confirm that the improved HFFB technique is generally adequate for engineering applications. Some technical limitations of HFFB are also discussed in this paper, especially for higher-order mode response that could be considerable for super tall buildings.

  • A three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes solver is developed for the flow analysis around Micro Air Vehicle(MAV) designed by MACDL(Micro Aerodynamic Control and Design Lab), Seoul National Univ., Validations of this solver are presented for two cases, first flow over the circular cylinder with infinite length, second flow over infinite wing with wing section, E387 airfoil. Simultaneously, Wind Tunnel test is performed with Flatform Wire type sir-component balance and model designed by MACDL. The numerical results are also examined through comparison with experimental data.
