Summary

For the study, the mean wind speed profiles represented by a simple power law, with exponents ranging between 0.12 and 0.4, were generated in the test section of the tunnel. A model of a room was exposed to various wind profiles, and corresponding rates of air flow were measured. It was observed that average wind speed through the window decreases with an increase in the power-law exponent.
