The numerical simulation of construction is to obtain the desired accuracy. It depends on the theoretical basis of the calculator and selection of the various important factors in the actual operation. For this problem, this paper adopting the current code for the design of building structures as the comparison standard, using the FLUENT software, taking the numerical simulation results of a high building’s wind load shape coefficient of for example, discussing the influence of four kinds of the convective terms discretization scheme, respectively the first-order upwind, the second order upwind , power law and Quadratic upwind interpolation for convective kinematics, on the simulation results of architectural numerical wind tunnel, provides the reference for the rational use of numerical wind tunnel method.

The gas flow status including velocity and pressure in the rectangular gas duct (before or after) electrostatic precipitator of a power plant were simulated using Fluent software. The grid accuracy which is required by simulation has been determined then the gas flow status has been analyzed through the comparison between numerical simulation results and empirical calculation results. The results show that flues inner supporting structures are the main factor of gas pressure drops and outlet velocity distrubution.

Elbow as common components in the gas pipeline fails easily to natural gas carrying solid particle erosion in the process of practical work. From the viewpoint of hydromechanics, the paper analyses the flow field distribution of manifold pressure and gas-solid trajectory by using the Gambit model and Fluent software in view of the right-angle elbow and numerical simulation of the adjacent manifold. The result obtains the situation about the manifold inner wall by the solid particle erosion wear. The simulation results show more intuitively the elbow, the most prone to erosion part in the manifold adjacent area and shape in erosion. Meanwhile, the paper analyses the factors affecting the occurrence and development of erosion.

This paper investigated the structural responses of the wind turbine due to wind loads by performing the wind tunnel test and the Computational Fluid Dynamics, (CFD). The base shear force and the base moment of the wind turbine measured by the wind tunnel test were compared with the numerical simulation results. Both the numerical dynamic mesh and sliding mesh models were selected for the numerical simulations. The results showed that the dynamic mesh model was better than the sliding model by comparing to the wind tunnel test result. In the case of the k-epsilon RNG turbulence model, the prediction of the bending moment affecting by acrossswind was more than 50%, and the prediction of the force affecting by acrosswind was less than 3%. The both simulation results of the prototype and the full scale wind turbine were obtained by CFD model. The comparisons of the result showed that the error of Fxwas about 15% and Mywas about 13.5%.

The existing “structure load code” did not give wind load shape coeeficient of rhombic plane and saddle-shaped roof .On this issue, numerical wind tunnel method has significant advantages such as low cost,fasting,collecting more comprehensive results.Using information of CFD and the software of FLUENT, using RNG - turbulence model, simulating a landform rhombic plane, the paper had numerical simulation of average wind pressure coefficient for rhombic plane and saddle-shaped roof building. It focused the effect on the numerical simulation for bending-span ratio. Finally it provided reference for reasonably determining the average wind pressure coefficient of rhombic plane and saddle-shaped roof building.
