Pressure Characteristics from Different Configurations

In chapter 3, we discussed the characteristics of the simulated incident flow by its statistical parameters. In chapter 4, wavelet analysis is applied to characterize the velocity field of the simulated turbulence in the eight configurations. In this chapter, we discuss how the pressure varies for these configurations. Such variations are important because they could be used as a basis for establishing flow parameters that would allow for the best simulation of full-scale pressure loads. The relation between parameters, as presented in chapter 3, and the corresponding pressure characteristics have been studied by many researchers, such as Tieleman et al[1999]. In this work, we will focus more on the relation between pressure characteristics and the wavelet parameters representing timevarying characteristics.
