CLIMAtic investigation of THUNDERstorm winds

<p>In the framework of the EU Project ERIES : Engineering research Infrastrucures for European Synergies, an experimental campaign was carried out at the Jules Verne Climatic Wind Tunnel Thermal Unit SC2 at the Centre Scientifique et Technique du B&acirc;timent (CSTB) in Nantes, France.</p> <p>The aim of the experimental activity was to assess the geometric and dynamics characteristics of downburst like impinging jet winds by varying the temperature difference ∆ T between the impinging jet flow and the calm surrounding environment. This could be realized at large geometric scales and Reynolds number thanks to the large.</p> <p>The projet associated University of Genoa, Italy and Centre Scientifique et Technique du B&acirc;timent, Nantes, France.</p> <p>Contact persons : Federico Canepa <span><span><a title="mailto:federico.canepa@unige.it" href="mailto:federico.canepa@unige.it" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">federico.canepa@unige.it</a>, Anthony Guibert, <a title="mailto:anthony.guibert@cstb.fr" href="mailto:anthony.guibert@cstb.fr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">anthony.guibert@cstb.fr</a>&nbsp;</span></span></p>
