Abstract
This paper describes the instrumentation, wind tunnel testing and experimental results of an investigation into wind-borne sheet-type debris, subjected to a uniform wind profile. This work has enabled an insight into the instantaneous pressure field acting on such objects to be gained during their flight. The work is part of an integrated project which includes the development of a theoretical approach to predict debris flight in three dimensions, in addition to CFD simulations.
