CFD Prediction of Wind Environment around a High-rise Building Located in an Urban Area
Year: 2006
Type: article
Abstract: Flow-field around a high-rise building surrounded by low-rise urban blocks in a turbulent boundary layer was calculated, and the results were compared with those of the wind tunnel experiments conducted by the present authors. In the strong wind region, the calculated wind speeds with standard k-emodel were somewhat lower than the experimental results, while this was improved by using revised k-emodels. Influence of various calculation conditions on CFD results was also investigated. This paper focuses on the influence of reproduction range of the surrounding urban blocks on the flow-field around the high-rise building and the profile of the turbulent boundary layer.
