An experiment was indertaken in order to explore sensitivity of measured pressures to the accuracy with which the terrain and boundary layer winds are modelled. A 1:100 scale model was tested for a single roof pitch and wind angle and eight different boundary layer simulations. The experiment was conducted as part of a review of the reliability of wind tunnel test data when compared with full scale experiments, such as those carried out by the Building Research Establishment at Aylesbury.
The Aylesbury experiments revisited - further wind tunnel tests and comparisons.
