NIST Building#
1. Project Description#
The objective of this project is to reproduce the wind pressure properties over the NIST Building, as measured in wind tunnel by [1]. The building is at resolution level “lvl5” of the digital wind tunnel. One convective time scale is defined as \(CTS = H / U_H\).

Note
General comments:
Experimental samples of the same size (\(T / CTS\)) of the numerical samples have been selected for comparison.
The peak pressure coefficients have been evaluated over moving averages of the original signals, with window size described in the plot legends.
The acquisition frequency of the numerical calculations is significantly higher than that of the experiments, hence the numerical spectra show a higher cut-off.
