Analysis of surface pressure and velocity fluctuations in the flow over surface-mounted prisms

The full-scale value of the Reynolds number associated with wind loads on structures is of the order of 10^7. This is further complicated by the high levels of turbulence fluctuations associated with strong winds. On the other hand, numerical and wind tunnel simulations are usually carried out at sm...
