Recently, there has been a growing interest in utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
for wind resistant design of tall buildings. A key factor that influences the accuracy and …

Roof shape and slope are both important parameters for the safety of a structure, especially
when facing wind loads. The present study demonstrates the pressure variations due to …

The requirement to model wind is inherently connected with the modelling of many fire-
related phenomena. With its defining influence on fire behaviour, spread and smoke …

This paper presents the results of wind tunnel studies and numerical studies on a '+'plan
shaped tall building. The experiment was carried out in an open circuit wind tunnel on a 1 …

Tall buildings are mainly designed to resist wind loads because wind-induced vibration is
more critical for occupant's comfort level on top of the building. Therefore, evaluation of wind …

Aeroelastic instabilities are common in square or rectangular plan shape structures due to
the development of powerful vortices by the rolling motion of the separated shear layers …

Irregular and unsymmetrical buildings are the modern trend for architectural and structural
engineers, and this type of structure is always taken special care to design. This study …

The present paper is centered on the study to understand the behavior of various surfaces of
a 'Z'plan-shaped tall building under varying wind directions. For that purpose, computational …

As the residential construction sector grows more quickly than other building sectors in
Oman and other GCC nations, the proportion of total energy consumption in housing rises …

It is important to create a comfortable wind environment around high-rise buildings for
outdoor activities. To predict the wind environment, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) …
