Experimental and Theoretical Study of Internal Pressure Loads on Boundary Walls under Gusty Wind Conditions

Figure 4

Variation of the measured pressure jump, , theoretical pressure jump, , and wind tunnel gust pressure, , as a function of time, , measured in the experimental setup with (i.e., to 6 m/s), nominal gust frequency, , and . Gate signal high indicates that the rotating gate’s position closes the wind tunnel duct (minimum gusty wind speed), and . , ; is the period of a cycle; pressure loss coefficient ; is a scale factor variable.
