1205 Researches on Scattering of Roof Tiles and Surface Flow over Roof Tiles by Wind Tunnel Test(2)

Abstract

A series of wind tunnel tests were conducted on the vibration and scattering behavior of full-sized model of roof tiles, which were used widely for roofings of Japanese wooden dwellings. The 100 roof tiles were set up on 10 lines and 10 lows on the pitched roof in the downstream of the flow from the wind tunnel. This study has investigated the nature and source of the vibrating and scattering behavior of roof tiles with the aim of providing a better insight to the mechanism.
