Description

The first Twin Test (TW1) of the TWEET-IE project (www.tweet-ie.eu) involved measurements of the flow past a surface mounted cube with openings, representing a building exposed to an atmospheric boundary layer. Tests were performed for smooth building walls but also with modelled vegetation covering the windward façade and the roof of the building. The measurements were performed both at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), in wind tunnels, at common locations around the building. Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA) was used at KIT and Particle Image Velocimetry (2C-2D and 3C-2D PIV) at NTUA. In the present data set shows the effect of vegetation on the flow velocities and a comparison of the twin wind tunnel measurements.
