Numerical Modeling of Wind around Buildings of Different Heights

Sattar, Ahmed M.A. / Elhakeem, Mohamed

This paper presents a numerical study to simulate airflow around an array of buildings with different heights. The simulation showed a complex 3D flow pattern around the buildings. The velocity and standard deviation around the short buildings increased by about 30% compared to the same arrangement with buildings of the same height. Thus, the existence of the tall buildings increased the turbulence level and velocity magnitude around the short buildings. This suggests that the proposed buildings arrangement and spacing were effective in improving the wind environment around the buildings.
