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.
