Wind Tunnel and Field Investigations of Shapes for Balloon Shelters

Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research

This report discusses the results of a series of wind tunnel and field tests performed in support of a program to develop a balloon inflation and launch shelter.

Description

The study discusses scaling criteria for simulating a shelter; velocity, turbulence, and frequency spectra downwind of four basic shelter shapes; the effects of screen materials on a shelter's efficiency; and the influence of the presence of a simulated balloon upon the effectiveness of the shelter.
