In this paper, in order to study the wind interference effect,with change of height of the upstream building, the numerical simulation of the downstream construction disturbance of wind pressure distribution has been done. With architecture of upstream, wind pressure coefficient values of windward and leeward faces of downstream building basically reduces,and interference effect shows shielding effect.

Open ended cantilevered roof is different from enclosed roof, because its change of wind pressure distribution is complex, and the wind directions have great influence on it. Up to now, for the characteristics of the structure are very complicated, there is no appropriate wind load model can be used in design, especially under typhoon, a specific wind field. So it is necessary to study the characteristics of wind load on open ended cantilevered roofs of typhoon. Using FLUENT and Computational Fluid Dynamics technology, based on the conventional, Tianpu’s and Shiyuan’s turbulence intensity of the typhoon scenario, a numerical simulation of wind flow around a large-span cantilevered roof was carried out. Analyzed different wind angles of the wind pressure distribution regularities on large-span cantilevered roof. The paper determined the distribution of the surface wind pressure coefficient for the cantilevered roofs, as well as the wind-sensitive parts of structures.

This article deals with experimental investigation of air flow around in – line standing circular cylinders and influence of nearby standing hall on external wind pressure distribution. The wind pressure distribution on the structures is an important parameter in terms of wind load calculation. For vertical circular cylinders in a row arrangement only wind force coefficient is possible find in Eurocode. 1991-1-4. External wind pressure coefficient depends on wind direction and the ratio of distance and diameter b. Influence of nearby standing structure is not possible find in Eurocode. The series of parametric wind tunnel studies was carried out in Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel (BLWT) STU to investigate the external wind pressure coefficient in turbulent wind flow. Experimental measurements were performed in BLWT for 2 reference wind speeds, which fulfilled flow similarity of prototype and model. We have compared the results of free in - line standing 3 circular cylinder and influence of hall on distribution of wind pressure at 3 height levels in turbulent wind flow and these results were compared with values in EN 1991-1-4.

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.

This article carries out a numerical simulation of a landslide-type long-span roof structure, Harbin Wanda Cultural Industry Complex. The maximum span of the landslide-type roof is 150 m and the minimum span is 90 m, with a minimum height of 40 m and a maximum height of 120 m, and the roof area is divided into three different parts. The large eddy simulation (LES) method is used to simulate and record the wind pressure coefficient of the roof. The distribution law and cause of the mean wind pressure coefficient of the roof are firstly analyzed, and the comparison with the existing wind tunnel test data proves the validity of the numerical simulation. Secondly, a qualitative analysis is made on the distribution of root mean square (RMS) fluctuating coefficients. Subsequently, the non-Gaussian characteristics of the roof are briefly discussed, and the peak factor distribution is calculated. Finally, based on the total wind pressure coefficient, a simple evaluation method for judging favorable and unfavorable wind direction angles is proposed, and only the shape of the roof and wind angle need to be known.

Abstract The article deals with the numerical analysis of the wind pressure distribution on a group of two high-rise buildings of different shape for different wind directions. The first building has the shape of a circular cylinder and the second was created by a combination of semicircles and a longitudinal member. The floor plan of the second building was similar to the letter S. The simulations were realized as 3D steady RANS. CFD results were compared with experimental measurements in the wind tunnel of the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. The results were processed using statistical methods such as correlation coefficient, fractional bias and fraction of data within a factor of 1.3, which determined the most suitable CFD model. The purpose of the present article was to verify the distribution of the external pressure coefficient on scale models at a scale of 1:350, which are located in the Atmospheric Surface Layer (ASL). In numerical modeling, the most important thing was to ensure similarity with the flow in the experimental Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) and with the flow around the models. SST k–ω was evaluated as the most suitable turbulent model for the given type of problem. Turbulent models had a decisive influence on the overall distribution of external wind pressures on objects. The results showed that the most suitable orientation of the objects in terms of the external wind pressure coefficient is 0°, when the cylinder produced a shielding effect, with min mean cpe = −0.786. The most unfavorable wind effects were shown by the wind direction of 90° and 135° with the value min mean cpe = −1.361.

Mean wind pressure coefficient (Cp) is one of the major input data for natural ventilation study using building energy simulation approach. Due to their importance, they need to be accurately determined. In current engineering practice, tables and analytical Cp models only give mostly averaged results for simpler models and configurations. Considering the limitation of tables and analytical models, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) could provide a means for an accurate and detailed assessment of Cp. In this paper, we make use of a relatively high resolution, detailed experiments done at Florida Intentional University to validate a CFD modeling of the pressure coefficients Cp. The results show that existing CFD model has a good agreement with experimental results and gives important information of distribution of Cp values over the surface. The local values of the Cp are investigated. In addition, the CFD derived Cp and discharge coefficient (Cd) values are utilized in semi-analytical ventilation models in order to get a more accurate value of ventilation rates.
