Abstract
An experimental investigation into the effect of Reynolds number varia tion on the lattice structure part of a wind tunnel model of the topsi de of an offshore structure. The results suggest that when global mode lling considerations dictate low local lattice structure Reynolds numb ers it may be advisable to cater for the lattice structure effects sep arately and add or superimpose these onto the global results.
