The antenna manufacturer COMMSCOPE has done some windtunnel
testing for antennas including cfd-simulations:
https://www.commscope.com/globalassets/ ... 534-en.pdf
Our own cfd-calculation (Axians) gives a good accordance to the commscope results.
Error only 3%.
Calculation at 150 km/h windspeed with k-omega turbulence model.
Antenna type EGYHHTT-65B-R6.
(turbulence intensity 15% in far field according to Eurocode manuals)
Next step: calculating wind-forces on antenna clusters (one is not enough for cell-phone communication)
Thanks to the cfdof-wb developers!
FC and smath file (rename txt-extension to sm for loading in smath):
cfdof-workbench: verify antenna wind load
