| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Trees play a role as wind break and street shade. Wind drag exerted on tree is mainly due to foliage pattern or crown-tree. In this study, Sierpinski tetrahedron, of which fractal dimensions are almost the same, is taken as a model of crown-tree. Drag on the Sierpinski tetrahedron and its wake profile are revealed. It is found that drag coefficient is constant and that properties of wake turbulence are determined by the size of smallest element (or size of leaf).
