Our Solution:
As a first stage, one smaller pile was chosen for an in depth evaluation. With the aerodynamic design complete, the fence was erected and the now sheltered pile carefully studied using the same instrumentation. The end result was that the measured fence effectiveness of 77% matched the predicted effectiveness within 5%. Some small refinements were made to the model, then the CFD study was extended to cover most of the site. From that study several more kilometers of WeatherSolve wind fences ranging up to 28m high were designed and installed.
