Description from the source
Results of measurements of surface pressure and of velocity field made on a full-scale 6 m cube in natural wind are reported. Comparisons are made with results from boundary-layer wind-tunnel studies reported in the literature. These were used as a validation test case for three CFD approaches as part of the Computational Wind Engineering 2000 conference challenge. The underlying time series data sets are available as well as the compiled data set (means and variances) issued during the CWE conference competition.
