Wind tunnel was originally common in aviation dynamics of scientific research equipment, but recently scientists through the construction of a special wind tunnel studies of human face of natural disasters in the solution.
The very people remember 1998 "Mitch" hurricane landing in America, that claimed the lives of many people. Local people to bring a huge disaster, leaving an indelible psychological shadow. Perhaps 10 years mitigation plans did not achieve the desired results, but its role is a sobering no doubt, more and more people began to hurricanes and other natural disasters, and to study effective organizational measures to strengthen the relevant scientific research In order to reduce the threat of hurricanes.
In the course of the study, scientists found that when the wind tunnel in the artificial simulation of a strong wind scouring the surface of buildings, the wind will be enormous both inside and outside the building is a surface pressure difference, just like the fixed-wing aircraft during take-off at the upper and lower wings have The principle similar pressure difference, when the pressure reaches a certain value, the housing will be alive tear, as in real people in the hurricane to see it.
Scientists now is to gather accurate hurricane damaged buildings, the damage coefficient, and the construction of the structure and corresponding cost is proposed, so that people can bear the risks and relatively more reasonable choice of the construction cost of the construction of buildings Programmes, place of residence for the different levels of wind, the construction of both the security and cheaper home.
