title: [Wind tunnel experiment on canopy structural parameters of isolated tree and wind velocity field characters nearby].
abstract: The canopy structural parameters(porosity beta and permeability alpha) of isolated tree, and the wind velocity field character nearby were analyzed by wind tunnel experiment. The results show that alpha and beta fitted the function of alpha = beta 0.6, and the wind velocity nearby decreased in ellipsoid contour. The contour increased with increasing tree height and canopy width, and decreased with increasing permeability (or porosity). The isotach became the shape of ellipses or elliptic segments in horizontal and vertical plans.
