Ellison's fortune made the victory possible, but the true star was his monster black-and-white trimaran and its radical 223-foot wing sail, which powered the craft at three times the speed of the wind, sending its windward and middle hulls flying well above the water.
The distribution of the wind pressures on windward side of the derrick was studied.
The linearized equations also show that the decrease of the wind on the windward slope is equal to the increase of wind on the lee side.
The battlecruisers under my command found themselves, in view of the prevailing [East-North-East] wind, in the windward position and so in an unfavourable situation from the outset".
Full-scale and wind-tunnel measurements of wind-induced pressures on windward and leeward side of a building in built-up terrain are compared.
Wind pressure distribution on windward wall of rectangular models is almost independent of its side ratio at 0° wind incidence angle.
In this study, we performed numerical simulations of three-dimensional turbulent flows over an isolated building with a door-type opening by using a CFD model in order to investigate the combined effect of wind and buoyancy on windward single-sided ventilation.
Part 1 of this study showed that strong winds can increase the windward intake flow rate by as much as 45%.
Wind power utilization around the windward top roof is the most promising under the dominant wind direction.
Part 2 examined the use of protective wind walls to reduce the windward intake flow rate.
