According to principle of the “design assisted by testing”, contemplated by the Eurocode, the combination of tests and calculations is increasingly used. The motivation of this increasing interest-demand are various: from the sophisticated architectural shapes to the absence of corresponding reliable fluid-dynamics models, from the increasing flexibility of structures to the necessity of checking complex aeroelastic phenomena. The purpose of the paper is to outline the potentiality of wind tunnel testing and the main problems encountered in their use. These aspects have to be accurately evaluated in defining the tests specifications. The use of some data analysis techniques (such as the proper orthogonal decomposition, the sensibility analysis, etc.), in keeping the essential design parameters, is presented too. |
