This validation focuses on validating the moment coefficients using experimental results obtained by RWDI in their wind tunnel tests, published in the paper (Calin Dragoiescu, Jason Garber and Suresh Kumar, 2006) where results were published using two techniques, a high-frequency force balance (HFFB) and high-frequency pressure integration (HFPI) which uses tap points. Both showing mostly good agreement between the two, with HFFB expected to be more accurate.

The wind load on a monument is being analyzed. 8 different wind directions are being simulated. The monument is about 20m high and hence subject to significant wind loads, where CFD is being used to predict them. In a first step, only average wind loads and pressure distribution on the surface is being simulated. The plan is to analyze transient wind loads lateron.
