Uses model buildings to study external distribution of wind pressure and internal air flow. Compares air flow data with computed values derived from the pressure distribution data. Collects the pressure data obtained in a comprehensive study of wind loads on low-rise buildings and rearranges it in a form more suited to the computation of internal flows. Presents and discusses the methods emloyed in the reformulation and the results obtained. Briefly describes the development of design aids from which flow estimates could be made by simple hand calculations.
