CFD and Experimental Study of Wind Pressure Distribution on the High-Rise Building in the Shape of an Equilateral Acute Triangle

There is a lack of detailed information about wind flow and distribution pressure around atypically shaped high-rise buildings. The national standard EN 1991-1-4 Eurocode 1 used to determine the effects on territory Slovakia (and indeed other countries European Union) does not have procedure for determining objects triangular shape. This presents problem designers engineers, as there exist no generally binding/valid rules follow when performing effect analysis. paper shows identification results external coefficient triangularly building. Two methods calculation been chosen this purpose. First, experimental measurements were performed scaled model building cross-section in tunnel. Subsequently, software simulations same CFD (computational fluid dynamics) program ANSYS CFX. Results obtained two directions measured 16 sampling points distributed irregularly circumference model. mutually compared verified. At end, real-size built-up area by simulation are shown.
