Abstract: The Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV) and 2-frames cross-correlation technique were adopted to measure and analyze the characteristics of flow-field in windbreak with porosity of 30%.The experiment was conducted in low-speed wind tunnel,and at the front of windbreak there was brushwood.A series of velocity vector fields,velocity field and vorticity field in 11 H 3 H(H refers to height of windbreak) range have been figured out.The results were compared with that of windbreak without brushwood.Furthermore,the experimental process was numerically simulated by the means of CFD software STAR-CD.Lastly,the shelter effect of windbreak has been discussed.

Key words: 2D-PIV, wind tunnel, windbreaks, brushwood, STAR-CD software
