When a structure has a unique, innovative, or complex geometry, it is essential to reduce the uncertainty associated with actual aerodynamic loads. A more accurate estimate of pressure distributions and overall wind forces allows for adjustments to the structural design, optimization of sections and thicknesses, reduced material consumption, and improved overall dynamic performance. The most reliable and cost-effective method for accurately determining a structure’s aerodynamic behavior is wind tunnel testing with scale models.

The need for advanced aerodynamic studies is especially relevant in the field of structures associated with solar energy utilization. Technological advancements in the sector have driven the development of increasingly lightweight, slender, and low-damping fixed structures and trackers. While these characteristics are advantageous from an economic and construction standpoint, they increase their susceptibility to aeroelastic phenomena. Under certain conditions, dynamic instabilities, self-excited vibrations, or critical behaviors can occur, leading to structural failures even at relatively moderate wind speeds.

Therefore, the analysis should not be limited solely to the static effects of wind, but should include the study of the dynamic and aeroelastic response of the entire system. The combined evaluation of static and dynamic effects allows for anticipating risks, optimizing construction solutions, and ensuring the long-term reliability of the installation.

Through specific studies and experimental testing, Táctica Industrial accurately characterizes both aerodynamic loads and associated structural behavior, reducing uncertainty and providing a solid technical foundation for design. In this way, wind engineering becomes a strategic tool not only for ensuring safety but also for optimizing costs and improving the competitiveness of our clients’ projects.
