Characteristics of wind pressure on vehicles traveling on embankment-like structures in a crosswind

Abstract

In the case of the vehicle on the embankment-shaped structure moving from windless area into wind field, it was found that the wind pressure was different between the windward surface and the leeward surface. On the windward side, the maximum value is reached after entering the wind field, but on the leeward side, it is the minimum value after a while. In this study case, the influence of wind pressure due to the movement of the vehicle was not observed.
