From numerical prototypes to real models: a progressive study of aerodynamic parameters of nonconventional concrete structures with Computational Fluid Dynamics

Abstract The practical evaluation of aerodynamic coefficients in unconventional concrete structures requires specific studies, which are small-scale models evaluated in wind tunnels. Sophisticated facilities and special sensors are needed, and the tendency is for modern and slender constructions to...
