Flow over a barn (10 pts) A 50 m long storage barn is to be built with 7 sides as per the cross-section shown in the figure below. The dimension D - 5 m for each panel. Wind tunnel testing is performed on a 1:100 scale model to measure the average external pressure, p, on each panel Pint is the internal pressure). The tunnel wind speed is 10 m/s perpendicular to the long side. The results of the experimental measurements are listed below. Pi - 1.05 kPa P2 -0.46 kPa P3 - 0.15 kPa P = 0.40 kPa Ps - -0.18 kPa P6 -0.28 kPa P7 0.51 kPa Boundary layer effects are negligible. Other standard assumptions apply Calculate the drag coefficient, Op. Clearly show all steps and simplifications. The numerical answer for Cp is worth 1-pt whereas the method is worth 9-pts.
