Wind Interference Effect on Tall Building
نویسنده
چکیده
When a building is located in an urban area, it is exposed to a wind of different characteristics then wind over an open terrain. This is development of turbulent wake region behind an upstream building. The interaction with upstream building can produce significant changes in the response of the tall building. Here, in this paper, an attempt has been made to study wind induced interference effects on tall building. In order to study wind induced interference effect (IF) on Tall Building, initially a tall building (which is termed as Principal Building now on wards) with square plan shape has been considered with different Height to Width Ratio and total drag force is obtained considering different terrain conditions as well as different incident wind direction. Then total drag force on Principal Building is obtained by considering adjacent building which is termed as Interfering Building now on wards with different terrain conditions and incident wind angle. To execute study, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Code namely Fluent and Gambit have been used. Keywords—Computational Fluid Dynamics, Tall Building, Turbulent, Wake Region, Wind.

Interference effects of wind loads on a row of tall buildings
ABSTRACT: We apply CFD to visualize wind flow around a row of three square-plan tall buildings closely arranged in a row. Increase in wind load on the upwind building is observed when wind blows to the row at 30. CFD results show that the interference mechanism is mainly due by strong channeling of wind flow through the building gaps. This leads to highly negative pressures on building walls fa...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Interference Effect on Dynamic Wind Loading of Tall Buildings in Close Proximity by Large-eddy Simulation
We attempt to compute the dynamic wind loads on tall buildings in close proximity with large-eddy simulation. Computation is attempted on two building geometries on which strong interference effects have been reported in previous wind tunnel studies. The computation uses a commercial code and a simple model of turbulence characteristics of the incident wind flow. The computed along-wind and acr...

متن کاملApplication of Genetic Programming for Determination of Wind Loads on Tall Buildings
Tall building can vibrate in both the directions of Along wind and Across wind caused by the flow of wind. Modern Tall buildings designed to satisfy lateral drift requirements, still may oscillate excessively during wind storm. These oscillations can cause some threats to the tall building as buildings with more and more height becomes more vulnerable to oscillate at high speed winds. Sometimes...

The main objectives of the research are to characterize the wind-induced resonant and slowly-varying (quasi-static) responses of a tall building under ambient wind excitations based on GPS measurements. The equipment used includes two sets of orthogonally aligned accelerometers, two GPS receivers and an ultrasonic anemometer. The natural frequencies of the wind-induced vibration of the tall bui...
