Investigation of Wind around Buildings of Different Heights Using an Environmental Wind Tunnel
This study presents experiments conducted in an environmental wind tunnel using physical models to quantify the airflow field around array of buildings of two different heights. A complex airflow pattern was developed around the buildings. In addition, the tall buildings increased the turbulence level around the short buildings. Combining short and tall buildings increased the spatially averaged velocity and standard deviation around the short buildings by 25% compared to the velocity and standard deviation around buildings of the same height. Thus, the proposed buildings arrangement and spacing proved to be effective in improving the wind environment around the buildings.
