Wind flow through trees: L. Manickathan
In the PhD of L. Manickathan, the drag force on different trees and the effect of trees on the air momentum balance is studied experimentally in the wind tunnel using a force balance and PIV.
Measurement setup for the drag force on different trees in wind tunnel using force balance.
The effect of trees on the air momentum balance is studied experimentally in the wind tunnel using PIV. Average magnitude of velocity field behind the tree.
