9634606 Scanlan Description: This award is for the continuation of a 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. The funds requested for the entire research project are modest at about $30,000. This project will continue development of 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. ***

9634606 Scanlan 描述：该奖项旨在表彰约翰·霍普金斯大学的 Robert Scanlan 和鲁尔基大学的 Prem Krishna 之间美印风工程研究合作的延续。 实验将在霍普金斯的科森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剖面模型和建筑模型在各自风洞中的具体使用和解释。 霍普金斯大学开发的关于使用颤振导数确定风稳定性的理论将用于相对于鲁尔基和霍普金斯大学的截面模型。 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工作水平。 整个研究项目所需的资金不多，约为 30,000 美元。 该项目将继续开发颤振导数概念，这被认为是风工程的重大进步，并将美国技术在空气动力学设计方面的影响力扩展到国外。 对于印度来说，该项目将有助于发展建模专业知识、技术教育以及设计和施工方法的改进。 ***
