This is especially important near the corners and edges of high-rise buildings' side walls, where the wind-induced pressure can result in extreme suction loads.

This work is about prediction of the pressure distribution on building surfaces due to the natural wind, with computational fluid dynamics simulations on meshes that are as coarse as possible.

The wind environment around buildings and the wind pressures on building surfaces are studied by scale-model experiments in wind tunnels and confirmed by full scale measurements.

With advances in wind tunnel methodologies in recent years, the measurement of wind loads on wind tunnel models of buildings and structures can be carried out with a high degree of accuracy.

This book focuses on CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) techniques and the recent developments and research works in energy applications. It is devoted to the publication of basic and applied studies broadly related to this area.

methodology for testing any air-permeable cladding material and evaluate their wind performance; 2) develop and validate a machine learning model capable of predicting net pressure wind loads for wide variety of loading conditions in air ...

The associated accuracy of the proposed CFD tool has been quantified and validated against the results of the extensive review carried out.

This book focuses on CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) techniques and the recent developments and research works in thermo-mechanics applications. It is devoted to the publication of basic and applied studies broadly related to this area.

The efficiency of this novel methodology is illustrated with several examples. Several measured wind pressure spectra have been investigated to determine characteristic spectral shapes and derive a suitable mathematical representation.
