3-D CFD Investigations on Buildings including Group Effects
A series of 3-D CFD investigations have been carried out on various buildings, viz. tall square building, two square buildings in tandem, tall rectangular buildings, Tall twisted rectangular building, Tall elliptical building, Tall rectangular building with set-back, Tall tapered square building, solar panel with reflectors, array of solar panels, etc.to evaluate aerodynamic pressure coefficients and drag & lift force coefficients, and interference factors. These evaluated coefficients and factors have been compared with experimental results to validate the performance of different turbulence models using commercially available software (FLUENT 6.3).
