Abstract

Abstract The characteristics of aerodynamic forces acting on an elliptic cylinder with an aspect ratio of 0.5 with a wind attack angle from 0 to 90° and subjected to the boundary layer wind tunnel were investigated. The model was initially calibrated and compared with the existing work. The aspect ratio of the investigated model was 0.5, and the model was emerging in a turbulent flow. The mean and fluctuating drag and lift coefficients were investigated. The minimum drag coefficient occurred in the wind direction of 0° and the maximum at 90°. The lift coefficient was the largest in the 30° wind direction and the smallest at 0°. Fluctuating coefficients were similar profiles as the mean coefficients. Around the 30° wind direction, an inappropriate phenomenon occurred, caused by the generation of asymmetrical vortices structures and wake instabilities.
