Abstract:The effect of wind load is one of the very significant factors in building and structure design. An investigation has been carried out into the wind effect on a Pentagonal cross-section with an open circuit wind tunnel. The experiment was conducted at a constant flow velocity of 13.2 m/s and a Reynolds number of 4.22 x 104. The test was carried out on a single cylinder positioned facing across the flow direction at various angles of attack from 0° to 72° at a step of 9°. Each face of a pentagonal cylindrical m… Show more
