Abstract
The lift force is an important aerodynamic parameter for tall structures with circular cross-section. Due to the difficulty of achieving high Reynolds number (Re) in wind tunnel, acquiring characteristics of lift forces at high Re, especially for the transcritical range, is usually realized by full-scale measurement. As a complement to the previous studies about lift forces based on full-scale measurement at high Re, the present study conducts full-scale measurement on a 210m high chimney to acquire lift force data. Characteristics of lift forces on the circular structure with high Re are then examined in terms of standard deviation of lift force coefficient and Strouhal number (St). A discussion on lift force and St is then carried out based on the data of both the present full-scale measurement and literature. Results of lift force and St show considerable discrepancy, even for the same Re. Some invalid data are then refined by considering the effect of measurement conditions and structural response, to decreases the scatter of lift forces and hence provide more accurate reference for the application of the data in the design.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Fluids and Structures serves as a focal point and a forum for the exchange of ideas, for the many kinds of specialists and practitioners concerned with fluid–structure interactions and the dynamics of systems related thereto, in any field. One of its aims is to foster the cross–fertilization of ideas, methods and techniques in the various disciplines involved.
The journal publishes papers that present original and significant contributions on all aspects of the mechanical interactions between fluids and solids, regardless of scale.
