Abstract
In the case of the wind resistant problems and environmental problems of buildings, we have to consider the effect of turbulence characteristics. Therefore, it is important for numerical simulations as well as wind tunnel experiments to give a velocity profile and turbulence intensity to the approaching flow conditions similar to natural wind. Here, we try to provide the numerical technique for generation of inflow turbulence by DNS (Direct Numerical Simulation) of turbulent boundary layer on a plate. In this study, we employ the interpolation method with the periodic boundary condition in order to simulate fully developed turbulent boundary layer. We investigate the inflow profile and its turbulence characteristics on the basis of the number and density of the roughness blocks. It is shown that we can control the generation of wind data by adjusting above parameters. Also, we apply this generation technique to the flow simulation around 3D square cylinder in turbulent boundary layer. Comparing the flows and wind pressure in a boundary layer velocity field with those in a constant velocity field, we discuss the turbulence effects on the aerodynamics of high-rise building.
