The application of __________ diagram is used to find the orientation of the runway to get the desired wind coverage.(a) Wind Butterfly(b) Wind Cycle(c) Wind Star(d) Wind RoseThis question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.This question is from Airport Engineering in chapter Other Major Topics in Civil Engineering of Basic Civil Engineering

Answer»

Correct option is (d) Wind Rose

The explanation is: An average date of around 5-10 YEARS of the various components of wind (INTENSITY, duration and direction) of the area is compiled to make a Wind Rose diagram. The entire area of the AIRPORT is divided into 16 equal parts at angles of 22.5o. The wind coverage in each of the SMALL QUADRANTS is then studied for the orientation of the runway.
