Analysis of wind flow upon high-rise buildings is very common topic. Nowadays, there are no general or analytical ways how to analyze wind effects on irregular shaped high-rise buildings complexes. Scaled experiments tested in wind tunnels are best for precise solutions, however they are time consuming and expensive too. Therefore we use computational modeling software based on finite volume method to analyze these effects and then, thanks to these analysis we can design structures and optimize them. Paper deals with simplified 3D analysis of wind effects on high-rise buildings complex "Panorama City" located in Bratislava-Slovakia. Through this analysis we obtain results for wind speed near objects and external pressure coefficient as well. Both of them will be helpful to gain insight for future constructions or verification of already constructed ones.

The wind flow around the elliptical object was investigated experimentally in the BLWT wind tunnel in Bratislava and subsequently solved by computer wind flow simulation. On a high-rise building model, the external wind pressure coefficients were evaluated for different wind directions and then compared with the numerical CFD simulation in ANSYS, where different models of turbulence and mesh types were used. The aim of the article was to evaluate and compare the obtained values and after analysing the results to choose the most suitable model of turbulence and mesh types, which showed the smallest deviations from the experimental values.

This paper reports on the model sensitivity analysis of a commercial computational fluid dynamics program, ANSYS FLUENT v14. The purpose of the analysis was to determine the appropriate modeling settings for numerical model of the case study. A full scale of a simplified urban street canyon was modelled and the turbulent flow was calculated using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) techniques. The model sensitivity tests involved are mesh sensitivity, statistically steady state and sampling. Adequate numbers of cells, period time to achieve statistically steady state (SST) and sampling time to simulate wind flow and pollutant dispersion in street canyon were determined through systematic tests.

This paper reports on the validation study of a commercial computational fluid dynamics program, ANSYS FLUENT v14. The purpose of the study was to determine the best turbulent model that can reproduce appropriately the wind flow field of turbulent flow in street canyon under different thermal atmospheric condition. Standard k-ε (SKE) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) techniques were chosen as the turbulent model for the validation study. It was found that LES could well calculate a complex simulation involving isothermal flow and thermal flow with different thermal intensity and different heat location in street canyon.

A high-resolution large eddy simulation (LES) of wind flow over the Oklahoma City downtown area was performed to explain the effect of the building height on wind flow over the city. Wind flow over cities is vital for pedestrian and traffic comfort as well as urban heat effects. The average southerly wind speed of eight meters per second was used in the inflow section. It was found that heights and distribution of the buildings have the greatest impact on the wind flow patterns. The complexity of the flow field mainly depended on the location of buildings relative to each other and their heights. A strong up and downflows in the wake of tall buildings as well as large-scale coherent eddies between the low-rise buildings were observed. It was found out that high-rise buildings had the highest impact on the urban wind patterns. Other characteristics of urban canopy flows, such as wind shadows and channeling effects, are also successfully captured by the LES. The LES solver was shown to be a powerful tool for understanding urban canopy flows; therefore, it can be used in similar studies (e.g., other cities, dispersion studies, etc.) in the future.
