Numerical Simulation of Wind Field Characteristics around Two Adjacent High-Rise Buildings ()
Abstract
This paper based on Reynolds-averaged
Navier-Stokes equations standard
model [1]; the surface
pressure on the wind field around two adjacent high-rise buildings was
numerically simulated with software Fluent. The results show that with the
influence of adjacent high-rise building, numerical simulation is a good way to
study the wind field around high-rise building and the distribution of wind
pressure on building’ surface. The pressures on the windward surface are positive
with the maximum at 2/3 H height and have lower values on the top and bottom.
The pressures on the leeward surface and two sides were negative. Due to the
serious flow separation at the corner of building’s windward, the wind field
has a high turbulent kinetic energy.
