Wind Tunnel Investigations on Buildings with Unconventional /Non-Prismatic Shapes
In order to study the differences in aerodynamic characteristics between tall building models with unconventional / non-prismatic plan shape and tall buildings with conventional and prismatic rectangular plan shape, pressure measurement studies have been carried out on various tall building models with tapering, setback, twisted, corner cut, elliptical features. The evaluated aerodynamic coefficients have been compared to identify favourable or adverse effects with reference to buildings with conventional / prismatic shapes.
