Abstract

The present study implemented the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) module of Ansys CFX to understand the differences in wind effect on U-shaped building with different limb positions at 0°, 30°, 60° and 90° wind angle. The remarkable variation in flow pattern, pressure and force coefficient has been observed due to change in limb position by 25, 50 and 75 mm from both ends. The mean pressure and horizontal pressure profile of the building faces have been presented for each case to represent the pressure variation. The drag force has been decreased in most of the cases, but the lift force increases with the repositioning of the limbs to the centre. Maximum drag force has been observed at a typical U shape for 0° angle, and the maximum lift force is noticed at 60° angle due to 25 mm limb shifting. Remarkable wind pressure differences have been noticed on the building faces due to the shifting as well as the change in wind angle. To get accurate results from the simulation, the mesh sensitivity study has been carried out. A validation study is also done to indicate the precision of the extracted data. This research reveals the variation in wind behaviour due to repositioning and also points out the critical factors for the structural design.
