Wind tunnel model: Forum Trabzon - Trabzon, Turkey

The famous Sumela Monastery, numerous sites of historic interest and its unspoiled beauty make Trabzon one of the most interesting tourist destinations in Turkey. With wind tunnel testing we assessed the possible wind climates inside the shopping centre, at the entrances, on the rooftop terraces (restaurants) and in the car park.

Heerema Sleipnir semi-submersible crane vessel - ,

Heerema's Sleipnir is designed for worldwide offshore heavy lifting. It will be equipped with two cranes of 10,000 metric tonnes lifting capacity each and a deck area of 220 x 102 meters, which will make it the largest crane vessel in the world. The Sleipnir is self-propelled by means of dual fuel engines – MGO & LNG. Peutz has conducted a CFD assessment of the effects of a LNG release from over pressure blow off and LNG bunker spill scenario's.

Louvre Museum - Paris, France

The Louvre museum in Paris has fitted out a new museum area specifically devoted to Islamic arts. This new department of the museum is located in the Visconti court, which was excavated by more than 12 m and covered by a golden glazed undulating canopy that reminds of dunes.

Wei-Wu-Ying Center for the Arts - Koahsiung, Taiwan

The new National Performing Arts Centre is a 141.000 m2 theatre complex built in the Wei-Wu-Ying Metropolitan Park in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The design includes a concert hall with 2000 seats; an opera house with 2250 seats; a playhouse with 1250 seats; a recital hall of 500 seats and 1000 m2 rehearsal rooms. Additionally an open-air stage is to be built on the roof.

Wind loads for DP and stability, helideck safety: Arctic drillship - ,

Ships designed for extreme conditions such as the arctic can show aerodynamic properties which are significantly different from conventional ship shapes. Measurements of the wind loads on the arctic drillship have been conducted in the Peutz wind tunnel. Measurements of turbulence and hot exhaust gas dispersion are conducted for CAP 437 certification of both helicopter decks.

Baiyun International Congress Centre - Guangzhou, China

The province of Guangdong and the municipalities of Guangzhou wished to built a new, prestigious congress centre for international and national conferences, extensive meetings of the provincial and municipal governments and for commercial fairs and cultural manifestations. The congress centre has a volume of 22,000 m³.

Frigstad D90 semi-submersible drilling unit - ,

The Frigstad D90 is a semi-submersible drilling unit design for ultra deepwater exploration & development. Peutz has conducted wind tunnel tests to determine the wind and current loads for stability assessment and DP. In addition a full test matrix of helicopter deck turbulence measurements has been conducted according to the CAP 437 requirements. The tests have been conducted at the wind tunnel facility of Peutz.

Wind loads for DP and stability: Drillship - ,

Measurements of the wind loads have been conducted on a scale model of an Ulstein designed drillship. Through wind tunnel measurements of the wind load coefficients the highest accuracy is achieved in calculation of required thrust capacities, DP capability and DP definition and optimisation.

Concertgebouw Amsterdam - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The Grote Zaal (Main Hall) of the Concertgebouw went through major renovations between 1985 and 2002, in respect of which eventually all wall and ceiling surfaces as well as the chairs and stage were renewed. The Kleine Zaal (Recital Hall) underwent complete refurbishment in 2004. As in the Grote Zaal, the acoustic quality was preserved by taking every last detail into account.

Wind and current loads for DP: SapuraKencana 1200 - ,

Measurements of the wind loads have been conducted on a scale model of the Ulstein designed SapuraKencana 1200 pipelay vessel. The wind loads are measured with a high frequency 6-component balance system, while the model is exposed to an approach flow according to the actual maritime wind velocity and turbulence boundary layer profile. Also current loads for several stinger configurations have been measured in the wind tunnel.

Wind and current loads for DP: SapuraKencana 3500 - ,

Measurements of the wind loads have been conducted on a scale model of the Ulstein designed SapuraKencana 3500 vessel. The wind loads are measured with a high frequency 6-component balance system, while the model is exposed to an approach flow according to the actual maritime wind velocity and turbulence boundary layer profile. Also current loads for several stinger configurations have been measured in the wind tunnel.

Forum Bornova - Izmir, Turkey

Forum Bornova was the first shopping and lifestyle centre developed by Multi Turkmall in Turkey. It consists of two boulevards, two squares and four streets. There are wooden canopies, small ponds, bridges, a tower, a lot of mosaic, wooden pergolas, palm trees, fountains, roof gardens with restaurants and bars. Wind speeds at the site of the shopping centre are high by Turkish standards.
