  2. Wind assistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_assistance

    Here, the total score may be accepted even though some of the results had a tail wind of more than 2.0 m/s. In events where wind velocity is measured, the average velocity (based on the algebraic sum of the wind velocities, as measured for each individual event, divided by the number of such events) shall not exceed +2.0 m/s (Rule 260.18). [2]

  3. Wind speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_speed

    The reference wind pressure q is calculated using the equation q = ρv 2 / 2, where ρ is the air density and v is the wind speed. [ 19 ] Historically, wind speeds have been reported with a variety of averaging times (such as fastest mile, 3-second gust, 1-minute, and mean hourly) which designers may have to take into account.

  4. Blue Java banana - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Java_banana

    Blue Java banana trees can grow to a height of 4.5 to 6 metres (15 to 20 ft). They are cold-tolerant and wind-resistant because of their strong pseudostems and root systems. The leaves are silvery green in color. [2] [3] The fruit bunches are small, bearing seven to nine hands.

  5. Beaufort scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_scale

    Wind speed on the Beaufort scale is based on the empirical relationship: [6] v = 0.836 B 3/2 m/s; v = 1.625 B 3/2 knots (=) where v is the equivalent wind speed at 10 metres above the sea surface and B is Beaufort scale number.

  6. Wind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind

    A short burst of high speed wind is termed a wind gust; one technical definition of a wind gust is: the maxima that exceed the lowest wind speed measured during a ten-minute time interval by 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph) for periods of seconds. A squall is an increase of the wind speed above a certain threshold, which lasts for a minute or more.

  8. Betz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betz's_law

    In order to keep the wind moving through the turbine, there has to be some wind movement, however small, on the other side with some wind speed greater than zero. Betz's law shows that as air flows through a certain area, and as wind speed slows from losing energy to extraction from a turbine, the airflow must distribute to a wider area.
