Wind tunnel dispersion measurement instrumentation

康考迪亚大学的建筑空气动力学实验室位于工程综合体，拥有一个大型大气边界层风洞（ABLWT），这是魁北克唯一的一个，也是北美为数不多的几个之一。这是一个开路，排污隧道长12米，有一个1.8米宽1.8米高的试验段。建筑物及其周围环境的模型以几何比例（通常为1：500至1：200）建造，并放置在来流下游的转盘上，模拟风从任何方向吹来时的自然风特性。ABLWT配备了灵敏的传感器和仪器，用于根据特定的应用对流量和压力分量进行精确测量。该设施已被用于许多研究，在风工程领域做出了重大贡献，主要是在世界各地制定风标准和建筑规范的风荷载规定。在过去的30年里，数百名学生、研究人员、建筑师和工程师受益于这一设施。

The Building Aerodynamics Laboratory of Concordia University located at the Engineering complex, houses a large atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel (ABLWT), the only one of this type in Quebec and one of the very few in North America. It is an open circuit, blow down tunnel 12 meters long and has a test section 1.8 meters wide by 1.8 meters high. Models of buildings and their surroundings are constructed at a geometric scale (typically 1:500 to 1:200) and placed on a turntable downstream of the incoming flow, which simulates the natural wind characteristics when wind blows towards from any direction. The ABLWT has been equipped with sensitive sensors and instruments used for accurate measurements of flow and pressure components depending on the particular application of interest. The facility has been used for numerous research studies with significant contributions in the field of wind engineering, mainly in the development of wind loading provisions for wind standards and building codes of practice around the world. Several hundreds of students, researchers, architects and engineers have been benefited by this facility in the course of the last 30 years.
