... pressure distribution presented in Fig. 3, given by the equations (Eurocode) increases with the height above terrain, and the function of angular direction. The distribution obtained from numerical calculation seems to be more sensitive to local change of tower diameter. From the aerodynamic point of view, it can be explained, by the shape that accelerates the flow at the ...
