Wind-tunnel experiments of snowdrift formation behind an elevated building at Syowa Station, Antarctica
To study snowdrift formation behind elevated buildings, wind-tunnel experiments were carried out, using activated clay particles to simulate snow, on a 1/100 scale model of the observation hut at Syowa Station. The similitude of snowdrift for the model and the actual prototype was obtained precisely...

This modeling technique using activated clay particles is proved to be useful for further studies on the most appropriate shape and dimensions of elevated buildings to prevent snowdrift. |
