Louvre Museum - Paris, France

The Louvre museum in Paris has fitted out a new museum area specifically devoted to Islamic arts. This new department of the museum is located in the Visconti court, which was excavated by more than 12 m and covered by a golden glazed undulating canopy that reminds of dunes. This space features two levels with a total floor area of 2800 m².

Helicopter deck hot gas plume and air quality: AEGIR - ,

To ensure safe helicopter operations offshore helicopter deck certifiction (CAP 437, NORSOK C-004) requires an assessment of temperature rise due to hot exhaust gas plumes in the airspace above the helideck. The plume trajectory can be visualised in a smoke visualisation test in the wind tunnel. The temperature rise can be directly measured in a buoyant plume tracer gas experiment on a scale model in the wind tunnel.

Frigstad D90 semi-submersible drilling unit - ,

The Frigstad D90 is a semi-submersible drilling unit design for ultra deepwater exploration & development. Peutz has conducted wind tunnel tests to determine the wind and current loads for stability assessment and DP. In addition a full test matrix of helicopter deck turbulence measurements has been conducted according to the CAP 437 requirements. The tests have been conducted at the wind tunnel facility of Peutz.

Concertgebouw Amsterdam - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The Main Hall (Grote Zaal) of the Concertgebouw is generally considered to be one of the three best halls in the world for symphonic music, the other two being the Grosser Musikvereinsaal in Vienna and Boston Symphony Hall.

Baiyun International Congress Centre - Guangzhou, China

The province of Guangdong and the municipalities of Guangzhou wished to built a new, prestigious congress centre for international and national conferences, extensive meetings of the provincial and municipal governments and for commercial fairs and cultural manifestations. The congress centre has a volume of 22,000 m³.

Wind loads for DP and stability: Drillship - ,

Measurements of the wind loads have been conducted on a scale model of an Ulstein designed drillship. Through wind tunnel measurements of the wind load coefficients the highest accuracy is achieved in calculation of required thrust capacities, DP capability and DP definition and optimisation.

Staatsoper Berlin - Berlin, Germany

The Berlin Staatsoper Unter den Linden is renovated in the period from 2010 to 2014. The project consists out of the renovation of the Opera building from 1742, renovation of the adjacent office building and a new rehearsal center behind the façades of the old storage building. Goals of the renovation of the 1955 Opera Hall are to restore the monumental character of the hall and at the same time introduce a major improvement of the halls acoustic.

Wind Load JIP FPSO - ,

The Wind Load JIP aimes at setting new standards for wind tunnel measurements of wind loads and CFD calculations for the maritime and offshore industry. Peutz has conducted wind tunnel measurements of wind loads on a model of a FPSO and a semi-submersible production unit. The effects of changes in roughness of the boundary layer, variation of configurations as well as sensitivity to different types of set-up have been investigated.

Forum Bornova - Izmir, Turkey

Forum Bornova was the first shopping and lifestyle centre developed by Multi Turkmall in Turkey. It consists of two boulevards, two squares and four streets. There are wooden canopies, small ponds, bridges, a tower, a lot of mosaic, wooden pergolas, palm trees, fountains, roof gardens with restaurants and bars. Wind speeds at the site of the shopping centre are high by Turkish standards.

Wind and current loads for DP: SapuraKencana 1200 - ,

Measurements of the wind loads have been conducted on a scale model of the Ulstein designed SapuraKencana 1200 pipelay vessel. The wind loads are measured with a high frequency 6-component balance system, while the model is exposed to an approach flow according to the actual maritime wind velocity and turbulence boundary layer profile. Also current loads for several stinger configurations have been measured in the wind tunnel.

Uniq Arena Istanbul - Istanbul, Turkey

The new Uniq Arena Istanbul is located in the Maslak area, close to some very nice historic buildings. In this initiative of Pozitif the objective is to realise an excellent acoustics for amplified music.

Wind loads for DP and stability, helideck safety: Arctic drillship - ,

Ships designed for extreme conditions such as the arctic can show aerodynamic properties which are significantly different from conventional ship shapes. Measurements of the wind loads on the arctic drillship have been conducted in the Peutz wind tunnel. Measurements of turbulence and hot exhaust gas dispersion are conducted for CAP 437 certification of both helicopter decks.
