Research and Training Facility for the Black Rock Forest

9634606 Scanlan描述：此奖项适用于美国-印度约翰霍普金斯大学的罗伯特·斯坎兰和鲁尔基大学的普雷姆·克里希纳在风力工程方面的研究合作。 实验将在霍普金斯的Corrsin层流风洞和鲁尔基的新附面层风洞中进行。 调查人员将研究桥面节段模型和建筑模型在各自风洞中的具体使用和解释。 霍普金斯关于确定风稳定性时使用颤振导数的理论将用于鲁尔基和霍普金斯的截面模型。 该研究将调查增强甲板模型稳定性所需的详细几何形状。 范围：该奖项将允许研究地点之间的旅行，以完成商定的努力水平。 该项目将发展颤振导数概念，这被认为是风工程的一个重大进展，并将美国技术在空气动力学设计方面的影响扩大到国外。 对印度来说，该项目将有助于发展建模专门知识、技术教育以及改进设计和施工方法。 ***

9634606 Scanlan Description: This award is for the U.S.-India research collaboration in wind engineering between Robert Scanlan of Johns Hopkins University and Prem Krishna of the University of Roorkee. Experiments will be conducted at the Corrsin laminar flow wind tunnel at Hopkins and at the new boundary layer tunnel at Roorkee. The investigators will study the specific use and interpretation of bridge deck section models and building models in the respective wind tunnels. Theory developed at Hopkins on the use of flutter derivatives in determining wind stability will be used relative to section models at Roorkee and Hopkins. The research will investigate the detailed geometric forms needed to enhance stability in deck models. Scope: This award will allow travel between the research sites to complete the agreed upon level of effort. This project will develop the flutter derivatives concept, considered a major advance in wind engineering, and extend abroad the influence of U.S. technology in aerodynamic design. For India, the project will contribute to developing modelling expertise, technical education, and improvements in design and construction methods. ***
