Abstract

Stormy events in recent years have shown that the destructive effects of wind on urban technical structures and plants pose a special threat. The paper provides an overview of mathematical models and approaches to experimental and theoretical studies of the problems associated with the effects of wind gusts and tornadoes on urban areas. Computer simulations of wind action on standard multistorey buildings in Ukraine are given. The coefficients of normal and shear components of forces and moments of forces acting on the surface of buildings, as well as vortex tracks over the residential complex at different wind speeds from moderate to severe have been computed. The calculations were performed by the finite element method using the model of turbulent air flow in the package AnSys2020. It is shown how with the help of a slight change in shape (roofs, additional passages, shields) the destructive effects of wind on the buildings and plants, as well as the threat to human life can be reduced.
