Notes on Full Scale Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation for LHO End X Wind Fence

Document #:

LIGO-T1800360-v1

Document type:

T - Technical notes

Abstract:

Wind flow around End Station X for a scenario with a 300 ft 50% porous fence and for a scenario without a fence was simulated in Ansys Fluent Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The fence was found to reduce both the force on End Station X and the moment about the y axis.
