Determination of the dynamic wind load on water towers

The common feature of tall and slender water towers is that the wind interacts with their big surface in a great height above the ground. Their circular symmetry results in vortex shedding behind the tower and the tank, which inflicts great transverse dynamic load on the structure. Continue reading →

With “Atmospheric Flow Laboratory” (short in Hungarian: AÁL), researchers of BME intend to establish a state-of-the art wind tunnel laboratory, unique in Hungary, to study problems in building- and environmental aerodynamics. The project received 411 million HUF (1.3 M EUR) funding from the European Union and the Hungarian Government.

The laboratory will provide a world-class infrastructure for architectural and civil engineering research related to atmospheric flows, and it will assist Hungarian researchers to join international research networks.

In the new wind tunnel, researchers of BME will study the flow around wind-sensitive structures, buildings and bridges, model the dispersion of hazardous materials and the ventilation of urban areas.
