| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study develops a new type of steel greenhouse with wing-like cross section, which has high wind resistance despite a long span. First, the effects of the parameters describing the wing-like cross section on the drag coefficient were investigated by a series of CFD analyses. Based on the results, together with a consideration for the workability inside the greenhouse, the most suitable cross section was proposed. A wind tunnel experiment was also carried out using a three-dimensional greenhouse model with the proposed cross section. The experimental result on the wind pressure distribution was found to be in good agreement with the CFD result.
Next, slits were made on the side walls to control the internal pressure, which may reduce the net wind force on the greenhouse further. The effect of the porosity on the internal pressure was investigated based on a numerical simulation using the time history of external pressures obtained from the wind tunnel experiment.
