title = "A study on the effect of wind fences in reducing wind velocity at fruit farms",
abstract = "Fruit growers install wind fences to prevent fruits from dropping. To examine the effect of wind fences in reducing wind velocity, this study conducted a performance experiment, a farmhouse model experiment, and analyzed how wind fences reduce wind velocity. Among the four types of wind fence with porosities ranging between 30\% and 60\%, the one with a porosity of 40\% showed the highest performance. Findings from the reduced model experiment that used a wind tunnel showed that wind fences with a porosity of over 50\% had a wind velocity reduction effect. In addition, the experiment found that the wind velocity reduction rate is affected by the installation distance of the wind fence.",
