  • The research was conducted windward of an irrigated Acacia amplicips Maslin windbreak established to protect As Salam Cement Plant from winds and moving sands. Two belts with approximate optical porosities of 50% and 20% were studied in River Nile State, Sudan. The research aimed at assessing the efficiency of the two belts in wind speed reduction and sand deposition. Research methods included: (i) estimation of optical porosity, (ii) measurements of windward wind speeds at a control and at distances of 0.5 h (h stands for windbreak height), 1 h and 2 h at two vertical levels of 0.25 h and 0.5 h, (iii) estimation of relative wind speeds at the three positions (distance and height) at windward and (iv) estimation of wind erosive forces and prediction of zones of sand deposition. Results show that while the two belts reduced windward wind speeds at the two levels for the three distances, belt II was more effective. Nearest sand deposition occurred at 2 h and 1h windward of belt II and belt I, respectively, at level 0.25 h. At level 0.5 h, sand was deposited only at 2 h windward of belt II and no sand deposition occurred windward of belt I. The study concludes that less porous windbreaks are more effective in reducing wind speed and in depositing sand in windward direction at a distance of not less than twice the belt height.

  • To investigate the air temperature difference between windward and leeward side at high-rise building area, the air temperature and relative humidity data were observed for 10 minute interval from July 9, 2011 to November 30, 2011. The observed data were compared, analyzed and examined to illustrate air temperature between windward side (H Apartment) and Leeward side (W Apartment). The diurnal and seasonal variation of air temperature difference between windward and leeward site were also investigated. After the analysis, the overheat of windward side by $0.4^{\circ}C$ irrespective short distance of two observation positions. It was also lower than those of surrounding air temperature observing stations. It is mainly due to the air temperature decreasing effects of leeward side of high rise buildings.

  • The wake structure behind a van type vehicle was studied experimentally with a 5-hole yawhead probe. Through an effective calibration method of the 5-hole yawhead probe, the flow properties such as velocity vector, total pressure and static pressure were obtained on two cross sections within the wake. These results combined with the surface flow visualization performed in the previous study, yielded some information about the wake structure. When the model was placed in a stream with zero yaw angle, two counter rotating vortices were observed behind the model which pull down the surface flow on each side of the model. With increasing the yaw angle, the surface flow on the windward side changed to divide the flow in two directions, one flows upward on the upper part and the other flows downward on the lower part of the windward side. Hence a new weak vortex was created on the upper windward side, which resulted 3 vortices within the wake. The size and the strength of the vortices increased with yaw angle.

  • 산불발생 후 수목의 수간에 형성된 불자국을 이용하여 산불 발생 시 지형에 따른 산불의 방향성 추정과 수목의 생존율 분석을 통하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 불자국은 수목의 수간을 기준으로 바람이 부는 반대방향(leeward side)에서 더 높게 형성되며, 수목의 직경, 사면의 경사 등과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 불자국을 이용하여 불의 진행방향을 분석한 결과 4가지 유형이 가장 두드러지게 나타나고 있었으며, 이들 유형들은 사면의 방향과 일정하게 또는 바람의 방향과도 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 불자국의 높이는 생존목과 고사목을 비교해 보면 평균 불자국 높이는 수목의 수간을 기준으로 바람이 부는 방향(windward side) 반대 방향(leeward side)의 높이는 생존목 보다는 고사목의 불자국의 높이가 높게 나타났다. 수간이 불에 탄 면적을 보면 생존목의 경우에는 2000년 25.9%, 2001년 17.1%, 2002년 12.4% 이었으며, 고사목의 경우에는 2000년 40.9%, 2001년 31.3%m 2002년 30.5% 이었다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 소나무의 경우 수간면적이 최소한 12% 이하가 불에 타면 생존하게 되고, 30% 이상의 면적이 불에 타게 되면 고사되는 것으로 나타났다. Brown et al.(1987)의 연구에 따르면 사시나무에서 불의 강도와 고사와의 관계에서, 불에 탄 면적이 고사한 수목의 경우에는 평균 70% 이상이고, 생존한 수목의 경우에는 50% 이하로 나타난다고 보고하였으나 본 연구에서 수행된 소나무의 경우에는 이보다 훨씬 작은 면적이 불에 타더라도 고사하게 되는 것으로 나타났다. 소나무의 생존분석은 불자국의 면적, 불자국의 높이, 수고, 직경의 4가지 인자를 이용하여 분석한 결과 회귀식은 다음과 같이 정의될 수 있다. Y=-2.484${\times}$Hight+0.04199${\times}$D.B.H-1.686${\times}$Windward+11.172${\times}$Leeward+23.432 (r=0.936, F=409.968, P>0.0001). 이러한 불자국을 이용한 다양한 연구들은 산불의 강도, 속도 등에 대한 분석을 가능하게 하며, 산불 발생 후 야기되는 산림관리에 대한 기본적인 자료들로서 제공될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 아고산 지역에서 지형은 바람과 일사, 토양수분함량 등에 영향을 주며 식물의 생장과 발달에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 아고산 지역에서 바람막이 지형이 가문비나무의 수관 생장에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 서식지를 사면과 미지형에 따라 구분하고, 수고와 수관생장을 조사하였다. 아고산 지역의 가문비 나무는 서식지 내 바람의 영향과 미지형에 따라 수고 생장과 수관 생장이 다르게 나타났다. 바람맞이 사면에서 수고 생장과 수관생장률이 낮았고, 바람맞이 사면의 홀로 돋아져 바람과 같은 외부 환경에 노출된 미지형에서 자라는 나무는 바람의지 사면의 주변식생과 함께 자라는 나무보다 수관 생장이 절반 수준으로 낮았다. 바람의 영향이 강한 곳에서는 바람이 불어오는 방향으로 수관 생장이 억제되어 수관이 깃발형으로 발달하였다. 바람맞이 사면에서도 바람에 노출된 미지형 1 유형은 바람막이 역할을 하는 지피물이 존재하는 미지형 3 유형에 비해 수관의 기형이 심하였다. 본 연구는 바람이 심한 아고산 지역의 지형과 생장의 관계를 분석하여 가문비나무의 분포와 생장에서 바람막이 지형의 역할이 중요함을 보여주었다. 아고산 서식지 관리와 복원을 위해서 바람의 영향을 고려한 사면과 지형별 분포에 대한 분석이 필요하다.

  • 강원지역은 우리나라의 다설지로서 복잡한 지형 때문에 강설량의 공간변동성이 크다. 특히 동풍조건에서 강설이 발생할 시 강설량의 공간적 변동을 예측하기 어렵다. 동풍조건에서는 강원지역 내 위치에 따라 대기환경조건이 다르며 이는 강설의 특성에도 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 동풍 조건에서 태백산맥의 풍상측과 풍하측에서 강설의 미세물리적 특성을 서로 비교 분석하였다. 강원지역 내 4개 관측지점을 선정하여 파시벨 수적계로 입자크기분포를 관측하였다. 얻어진 강설입자 크기 분포의 특성을 풍상측과 풍하측간 비교한 결과, 풍상측의 강설입자 크기 분포는 풍하측에 비해 넓은 분포를 가졌고 작은 강설입자의 수도 많았다. 강설입자의 수농도에 비례하는 보편특성수농도와 강설입자의 직경에 비례하는 보편특성직경 둘 다 풍상측에서 상대적으로 큰 값을 보였다. 또한, 얼음수함량과 강설강도 비교에서도 풍상측 지점에서 큰 평균값을 가졌다. 이 결과가 나타난 원인은 태백산맥 산사면에서 공기덩어리의 강제적 상승효과로 풍상측 지점 상공에 새로운 강설입자의 생성이 활발했기 때문으로 추정된다. 또한, 풍상측은 따뜻하고 습한 동풍이 불어오므로 이로 인해 지상기온이 $0^{\circ}C$ 근처에 머무르며 강한 부착과정이 일어나기 좋은 조건이다.

  • Net pressures on roofs and walls of buildings are dependent on the internal and external pressure fluctuations. The variation of internal and external pressures are influenced by the size and location of the openings. The correlation of external and internal pressure influences the net pressures acting on cladding on different parts of the roof and walls. The peak internal and peak external pressures do not occur simultaneously, therefore, a reduction can be applied to the peak internal and external pressures to obtain a peak net pressure for cladding design. A 1:200 scale wind tunnel model study was conducted to determine the correlations of external and internal pressures and effective reduction to net pressures (i.e., net pressure factors, FC) for roof and wall cladding. The results show that external and internal pressures on the windward roof and wall edges are well correlated. The largest ${\mathcal{C}}_{{\check{p},net}$, highest correlation coefficient and the highest FC are obtained for different wind directions within 90° ≤ θ ≤ 135°, where the large openings are on the windward wall. The study also gives net pressure factors FC for areas on the roof and wall cladding for nominally sealed buildings and the buildings with a large windward wall opening. These factors indicate that a 5% to 10% reduction to the action combination factor, KC specified in AS/NZS 1170.2(2011) is possible for some critical design scenarios.

  • In this study, in order to find out relationship of green space distribution and lower air temperature effect, observed air temperature distribution in and out green space in the cloudy. On basis of the result, we are analyzed relationship of air temperature distribution in and out green space, of green space distribution and air temperature of, lower air temperature effect and the urban in between the green space by using regression analysis. According to the result, the higher temperature zone formed around urban, and the lower temperature zone was similar to shape of green space. In case of the green space, higher temperature zone is formed around paved surface and barren ground, lower temperature zone is done forest and water area. To compare air temperature of windward and leeward around green space, the windward formed the lower temperature zone and although the wind direction is not the leeward to the green space, air temperature formed lower temperature zone to the urban in between the green space.

  • In this work, wind tunnel tests of pressure measurements are carried out to assess the global aerodynamic interference factors, the local wind pressure interference factors, and the local lift spectra of an square high-rise building interfered by an identical cross-sections but lower height building arranged in various relative positions. The results show that, when the interfering building is located in an area of oblique upstream, the RMS of the along-wind, across-wind, and torsional aerodynamic forces on the test building increase significantly, and when it is located to a side, the mean across-wind and torsional aerodynamic forces increase; In addition, when the interfering building is located upstream or staggered upstream, the mean wind pressures on the sheltered windward side turn form positive to negative and with a maximum absolute value of up to 1.75 times, and the fluctuating wind pressures on the sheltered windward side and leading edge of the side increase significantly with decreasing spacing ratio (up to a maximum of 3.5 times). When it is located to a side, the mean and fluctuating wind pressures on the leading edge of inner side are significantly increased. The three-dimensional flow around a slightly-shorter disturbing building has a great effect on the average and fluctuating wind pressures on the windward or cross-wind faces. When the disturbing building is near to the test building, the vortex shedding peak in the lift spectra decreases and there are no obvious signs of periodicity, however, the energies of the high frequency components undergo an obvious increase.

  • Super long-span bridges provide people with great convenience, but they also bring traffic safety problems caused by strong wind owing to their high decks. In this paper, the large eddy simulation together with dynamic mesh technology in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to explore the mechanism of a moving vehicle's transient aerodynamic force in crosswind, the regularity and mechanism of the vehicle's aerodynamic forces when it passes through a bridge tower's wake zone in crosswind. By comparing the calculated results and those from wind tunnel tests, the reliability of the methods used in the paper is verified on a moving vehicle's aerodynamic forces in a bridge tower's wake region. A vehicle's aerodynamic force coefficient decreases sharply when it enters into the wake region, and reaches its minimum on the leeward of the bridge tower where exists a backflow region. When a vehicle moves on the outermost lane on the windward direction and just passes through the backflow region, it will suffer from negative lateral aerodynamic force and yaw moment in the bridge tower's wake zone. And the vehicle's passing ruins the original vortex structure there, resulting in that the lateral wind on the right side of the bridge tower does not change its direction but directly impact on the vehicle's windward. So when the vehicle leaves from the backflow region, it will suffer stronger aerodynamic than that borne by the vehicle when it just enters into the region. Other cases of vehicle moving on different lane and different directions were also discussed thoroughly. The results show that the vehicle's pneumatic safety performance is evidently better than that of a vehicle on the outermost lane on the windward.
