Research and Training Facility for the Black Rock Forest

描述：该奖项授予约翰霍普金斯大学的Robert Scanlan和鲁尔基大学的Prem Krishna在风力工程方面的美印研究合作。实验将在霍普金斯大学的corsin层流风洞和鲁尔基的新边界层风洞进行。研究人员将研究桥面截面模型和建筑模型在各自风洞中的具体使用和解释。在霍普金斯发展的关于使用颤振导数来确定风稳定性的理论将与在鲁尔基和霍普金斯的截面模型相比较。该研究将调查提高甲板模型稳定性所需的详细几何形式。范围：该奖励将允许在研究地点之间旅行，以完成商定的工作水平。该项目将发展颤振衍生概念，被认为是风力工程的重大进步，并将美国技术在空气动力学设计中的影响扩展到国外。对印度来说，该项目将有助于发展建模专业知识、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. ***
