Numerical Calculation Methods of Wind Load

Storm cause deformation and collapse of structure, endanger people's life and property security. In order to avoid or reduce the impact of wind load effectively, the paper mainly introduce wind tunnel test, numerical wind tunnel method, time domain analysis, frequency domain analysis and the research and application of domestic scholars.

The Influence of the Convective Terms Discretization Scheme on the Simulation Results of Architectural Numerical Wind Tunnel

The numerical simulation of construction is to obtain the desired accuracy. It depends on the theoretical basis of the calculator and selection of the various important factors in the actual operation. For this problem, this paper adopting the current code for the design of building structures as the comparison standard, using the FLUENT software, taking the numerical simulation results of a high building’s wind load shape coefficient of for example, discussing the influence of four kinds of the convective terms discretization scheme, respectively the first-order upwind, the second order upwind , power law and Quadratic upwind interpolation for convective kinematics, on the simulation results of architectural numerical wind tunnel, provides the reference for the rational use of numerical wind tunnel method.

Determination of the Average Wind Pressure of Circular Flat and Saddle Roof Building Based on the Numerical Wind Tunnel Method

For numerical wind tunnel method has the advantages of low cost, fast speed, the more comprehensive results, the paper using CFD knowledge and the FLUENT software, using RSM turbulence model, SIMPLE algorithm, simulation class D landform, to have numerical simulation of average wind pressure coefficient for of the circular planar and saddle roof building ,which the current code for the design of building structures did not give, to provide reference for determining the average wind pressure coefficient of the circular planar and saddle roof building .

The Numerical Simulation for Wind Pressure on the Roof of Rhombic Plane and Saddle-Shaped Building

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.
