| Summary: | Windstorms are the cause of enormous amounts of property damage, personal injury, and
even death, in addition to economic loss. During windstorms, low-rise buildings, particularly
those with roof structures, are at the greatest risk of being destroyed. The roof of a structure
is subjected to the greatest amount of wind load when compared to the other components of
a building. The results of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations carried out with
the objective of determining the influence of wind pressure on low-rise structures with a
variety of different roof pitches. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations,
researchers have conducted a great number of experiments over the course of many years in
order to analyse the wind impact. The vast majority of studies, on the other hand, were
carried out by taking into account the three-dimensional environment and topography around
the single-story buildings. On the other side, there are studies that use CFD simulations in a
two-dimensional environment but with several kinds of roofs, such as gable roofs, flat roofs,
and roof pitches of varying degrees. From the acquired data, the size and trajectories of the
wind flows may be determined. Higher -Cp levels inflict a great deal more harm owing to
increased suction and a wider vortex region. Variable roof pitch also has a significant impact on the airflow distribution. The presence of an overhang on a gambrel roof provides more strength than the absence of an overhang. |
