Abstract
- The article discusses a study which compared a tubular and truss tower in the wind tunnel at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). It cites the use of a hot-wire anemometer in measuring the mean and turbulent wind velocity behind the towers. Results of the study showed lower energy spectra and turbulence intensities and a higher mean wind velocity for the truss tower. Findings suggest smaller loads caused by the tower shadow of the truss tower.
