Sensitivity Analysis of Wind Strength part of Sedimentary Geology:Sedimentology, Geomorphology, and Paleontology 2014:Activities
This problem set introduces univariate and bivariate sensitivity analysis using the horizontal velocity profile of the wind in Matlab. This can be easily adapted for river flow, wind chill temperature, etc.

Drag Coefficient Estimates Using a Smoke Wind Tunnel part of Sedimentary Geology:Sedimentology, Geomorphology, and Paleontology 2014:Activities
This lab exercise utilizes a small (and relatively easy to make) wind tunnel with a fog tracer that helps students visualize the flow dynamics around obstacles. In this exercise the use of cylinders perpendicular ...
