Wind engineering of a two bladed turbine when the blades are vertical. The reduced wind gradient over water means shorter and less expensive wind turbine towers can be used in shallow seas. For wind turbine engineering, wind speed variation with height is often approximated using a power law: where: The knowledge of wind engineering is used to analyze and design all high rise buildings, cable suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges, electricity transmission towers and telecommunication towers and all other types of towers and chimneys. The wind load is the dominant load in the analysis of many tall buildings. So wind engineering is
Acoustic suspension acoustic suspension, with a separate, sealed air-space, even if the woofer itself is not. One notable exception to this was the Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage which uses a ported enclosure for the midrange. The two most common types of speaker enclosure are acoustic suspension (sometimes called pneumatic suspension) and bass reflex, so they are worth comparing. In both cases, the tuning affects the lower end of the driver's response but above a certain frequency, the driver itself becomes the dominant factor and the size of the enclosure and ports (if any) become irrelevant. In general, acoustic suspension systems (driver +
