IWEF workshop on CFD
for prediction of wind loading
on buildings and structures
September 9, 1995
Tokyo Institute of Technology
Midori-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan
coordinated by International Wind Engineering Forum(IWEF)
Japan Association for Building Research Promotion
5-26-20, Kenchiku-kaikan, Shiba, Minato-ku, Tokyo 108, Japan
Scope
The CFD(computational Fluid Dynamics) technique has been developing and now used for the wind engineering problems. Especially the unsteady pressure field can be successfully simulated for prediction of wind loading on a single model of buildings and structures. At the present stage, the discussions are mainly focused on the consistency between the computational and experimental data. This workshop addresses the future possibility in the context of practical use of CFD technique. Advantage, accuracy and limitation of the computational technique and the turbulence modeling are discussed from the wind and structural engineering points of view.
