Description
Summary:Recently, CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) is being increasingly used to investigation of the flow around high-rise buildings. In this study, prediction of wind flow around two cases high-rise buildings model placed within the surface boundary layer were carried out using various turbulence models. The accuracy of two-equation turbulence models were compared with experimental data of Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ).As a result, all two-equation models are shown overestimation the reattachment length behind the buildings.
