A Numerical and Field Investigation of Surface Heat Fluxes from Small Wind-Sheltered Waterbodies in Semi-Arid Western Australia

Shelterbelts are used for a variety of purposes in agricultural environments, primarily because of their ability to improve the downwind microclimate. Excessive evaporative losses from small, agricultural water supply reservoirs in semi-arid Western Australia motivated a combined numerical modelling and field investigation into the potential for using shelterbelts to reduce evaporation from these open waterbodies. A numerical model of the disturbed momentum and turbulence fields in the region modified by the wind-shelter was employed and accounted for the presence of a waterbody downwind. The model was coupled with conservation equations for heat and moisture and sensible and latent heat fluxes were estimated from the simulated momentum, temperature and humidity fields. The numerical simulations were tested against four days of field data from two experiments conducted in the agricultural districts of southwest Western Australia that measured boundary-layer evolution over a variety of small waterbodies protected by artifical and natural wind-shelters. The model provided good predictions of windspeed during neutral conditions, but inadequate specification of the upwind boundary during non-neutral stabilities resulted in the model failing to capture any sensitivity to atmospheric stability as seen in the field data. Despite this limitation, the temperature and humidity fields were adequately captured by the model, and evaporative mass flux predictions also agreed well with estimates taken from water-balance measurements. It is concluded that well-designed wind-shelters can reduce evaporation from open waterbodies by 20–30% as a result of reductions in the velocity scales responsible for removing moisture from the water surface. The model can be used to estimate the values of various shelterbelt design parameters (e.g., porosity, height) that could be applied in the field to provide optimum evaporation reductions.

A Regional Assessment of Windbreak Habitat Suitability

The Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Programwas initiated in 1989 by the United StatesEnvironmental Protection Agency to collect, analyze,and report quantitative, statistically unbiasedinformation about the state of the nation'senvironment on a regional basis. During a pilotprogram in Nebraska we measured a habitat suitabilityindex for a probability sample of 40 windbreaks andexpanded the results to estimate the potential valueof windbreaks as wildlife habitat in Nebraska. Theindex estimates the suitability of a windbreak ashabitat for wildlife including breeding birds, smallmammals, and deer. Index values range from zero toone, where a value of one indicates maximal habitatvalue. We estimated that 50% (±13% at 90%confidence) of windbreaks in Nebraska have a habitatsuitability index of 0.25 or less and that nowindbreaks have a suitability index greater than 0.6. Our results indicate that increasing the area ofindividual windbreaks is the most effective way toimprove their value as wildlife habitat. Monitoringwindbreak condition over time would alert wildlifemanagers to changes in the resource that might affectwildlife populations. Because our data were highlyvariable, the power to detect change in habitatcondition between two measurement periods was low. Amuch larger sample would be required to detect smallchanges in habitat condition. Variability may bereduced, and power increased, by carefully andconsistently constructing the sampling frame, keepingdata collection as simple as possible, appropriatelystratifying sample selection, and using a small numberof well-trained data collection teams. However, wesuggest adapting the index for use with aerialphotography in future efforts to evaluate windbreaksas wildlife habitat in extensive areas.     

Double-Arranged Mound-Mounted Shelterbelts: Influence of Porosity on Wind Reduction between the Shelters

Using a two-dimensional LDA-System, measurements in an atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel have been made in the intermediate field of double-arranged, mound-mounted shelterbelts. The porosity of the shelterbelts ranged from 0% to 52%. For each porosity, seven different distances of the two windbreaks between 5 and 25 times the windbreak height were investigated. The efficiency of the windbreak systems is assessed by means of protection parameters considering the change of horizontal momentum on bodies immersed in the flow, of pedestrian comfort conditions and of momentum exchange in vertical direction. Furthermore recirculation zones and the change of kinetic energy are shown. The measurement results are given in the form of contour plots indicating flow quantities and protection volumes between the two windbreaks. The shelter efficiency of the investigated windbreak systems is compared to that of adequate single line windbreaks. It is shown that for certain windbreak configurations the wind-protected area in the intermediate field of consecutively arranged windbreaks becomes larger in comparison to a single windbreak.

防风网气动特性参数的试验研究

防风网气动特性参数是防风网结构设计中的重要参数.通过风洞试验的方法研究了透风率分别为29.9%和35.4%的蝶形、平板两类防风网的静力风荷载气动特性参数.结果表明,防风网风载体型系数背风面为负值,其绝对值远大于迎风面;迎风面风载体型系数,当透风率较小时为负值,较大时为正值,即防风网向后的吸力是主要作用力. 防风网的压力损失系数、风载体型系数和阻力系数相互紧密联系,其值具有一致性,随着前者的提高,后两者的值也提高,即防风抑尘效果越好,抗风安全性越差.防风网结构设计时,要统筹兼顾,权衡利弊,选其最佳结合点.
