  4. Project statement • Measure wind speed, forces, aerodynamic effects • Create test procedure for full size and scale testing • Recommendations for future design of arborloos The primary objective of this project is to design a scale model and a full-size test stand that will help determine the wind resistance of various arborloo designs. The scale model test stand should replicate the forces experienced by a Class I hurricane, and the results should be easily comparable to the lower speed, full-size results.

  10. System architecture

  11. Concepts - RIT Wind Tunnel Scale Speeds – 1/6 Model Matching Reynolds Number • Required Wind Tunnel fluid speed: ~570 mph • Wind tunnel maximum fluid speed: ~120 mph • Using a model that’s 1/6th as small,Mimicked wind speed: ~20 mph • ~40 mph for a 1/3 model

  12. Concepts - Tow tank hybrid 1/6 Scale • Required velocity of the system to be ~17.5m/s • Drag force would be ~11455.6 N • Required motor would need to be ~250hp 1/3 Scale • Required velocity of the system to be ~8.75 m/s • Drag force would be ~12124N • Required motor would need to be ~140hp • If v = 40mph, Vreq = 7.36m/s Fd = 2145N Preq = ~21hp • Maximum testable wind speeds would be around 50mph with a 30hp engine assuming 2m/s lazy river velocity

  13. Scaling Laws • Dimensional Analysis – allows for identification of key parameters • Reynolds Number allows to determine model test velocity given a full size expected velocity • Drag Coefficient allows us to find the expected full size drag force given the model measured drag force

  14. Reynolds Number - Importance • CD(Re) – Large Difference Laminar & Turbulent Flows • To make sure you have dynamic similitude you need to match Reynolds between model and full size so that CD is correct

  15. Reynolds Number - Importance • For infinite plate with 2D flow, CDis actually constant over a vast range of Re • Can assume CD will always be constant at any velocity

  16. Drag Coefficient- Importance “The drag coefficient for all objects with sharp edges is essentially independent of Reynolds number (for Re>1000)”

  17. Project Refocusing • Because CD is constant for a flat plate at a large range of Reynolds Numbers, there is no need to match wind speed • No need to match Reynolds Number • Can obtain CD with low speed tests • With a constant wind velocity, area and fluid, the drag force can be calculated given CD

  18. CFD Analysis • Created a simulation using COMSOL Multiphysics 4.3b • Turbulent Flow Parameters • Flow Characteristics • Pressure Distribution • 3 Models • 22-45 mins simulation time

  26. 1/6 Model at 570 mph CFD Analysis Pressure distribution over face of arborloo

  27. ANSYS Analysis • Mechanical Deformation • SOLID 187 • Wood– E=9.03 GPA • Anisotropic Material • 1 inch thickness

  28. Subsystems • Measuring Devices • DAQ + Data Processing • Attachments + Model

  29. Subsystems – measuring devices • Pressure Sensors (Omega PXCPC-001GV ) • 5 sensors mounted on face of arborloo • Sensor range 1 kPa – 1000 kPa • Cost: $31 each

  30. Subsystems – measuring devices • Pressure sensors will give general pressure distribution • Surface area of arborloo face is known • 1/6 scale: Area=18 in^2 • Average Pressure x Area = Distributed Force

  31. Subsystems – measuring devices • Anemometer • 1 mounted next to arborloo (not obstructing air flow) • Cost: ~$250 each • Used to verify windspeed at arborloo

  32. Subsystems – Daq + data processing • NI LabView • National Instruments program that the KGCOE has available for students • Provides tools that are needed to build measurement and control applications efficiently • An application can be made to analyze the data as it is being collected and projecting it in a useful format • Matlab or Excel • Data would be input manually after being stored on an external drive • Then data would be analyzed using the program applications • 2 options for Data acquisition and processing • Option 1: Real time analysis using LabView • Department equipment available to convert information from sensors to LabView compatible data • LabView code would analyze the data instantaneously • Option 2: External Storage and analysis using LabView, Excel or Matlab • Device can have an external storage that can be connected to a computer than analyzed in any program that the user desires • Data must be collected after each test and has a limit on data capacity

  33. Subsystems – attachments + model • RIT Wind Tunnel • Model to be attached via stainless steel plate • Test Model will need to be about 1.5 ft tall max (1/6th scale)

  34. Subsystems – attachments + model • Wind Tunnel Attachment Block • ¼” thru holes for attachment • Create adaptor that attaches to the block to simulate the posts of the arborloo in the ground
