Abstract:The wind tunnel tests of pressure measurements for a rigid model of 215 m high super-large cooling tower planned for construction under tornadoes were conducted based on the tornado-vortex simulator. The distributions of internal pressures acting on the tower drum under different swirl ratios were investigated. The mathematical model of internal pressure distributions under tornadoes was proposed as well. The results show that the internal pressures under tornadoes are dominated by the pressure drop accompanying a tornado, displaying the negative pressures with uniform distributions and high correlations in the circumferential direction. The internal pressures decrease with decrease of the swirl ratio as the tower is located inside the tornado core radius and the decreased distance between cooling tower center and tornado center, meaning that the tower experiences the maximum suction in the situation where the tower is located at the tornado core center with the lower swirl ratio. Furthermore, the internal pressure distribution can be quantitatively expressed as a logarithmic model with respect to the relative position between cooling tower and tornado.
