Abstract:
In this paper a methodology for estimating the airflow effects in deadweight force standard machines, using simulations with finite elements method, is proposed.
Simulating the environment of the INRIM force laboratory, influenced by the air-conditioning system, has allowed to determine probable aerodynamic characteristics of the ambience housing the masses systems under study. Furthermore, the simulations revealed the probable airflow effects on a INRIM forthcoming deadweight force standard machine.
