COLLATED VIDEO [WITH EFFECTS!]
END RESULT DIAGRAM
To discover the properties of the way porosity, height, and orientation worked with snow. The DRIFT team mocked up a study using a wind tunnel constructed by Jake Ostilund for a fan to fit in. The tunnel would make sure the air flowing out would be in a linear fashion to focus blowing the sugar across the landscape.
The sugar was used as a substitue for its ability to flow and collect like snow.
While commandeering the Upper Gallery in Cheever Hall, Team DRIFT did 10 simulations using different wind fence mock-ups based on a porosity of 0, 25, 50, and 75%, a scaled fence height descending from 10 feet to 2 feet, and two iterations of using porosities of 0 and 50% but incorporating an angle of either 30, 60, or 90 degrees at the end of the fence.
