Abstract
A two-layer method combining the k- ϵ model in fully turbulent regions with a one-equation model in near wall area has been tested in computing the wind conditions around a cubic building. Results were compared with those from k- ϵ model computation as well as from experiments. In contrast with the usual k- ϵ model approach, this method has been effective in predicting the flow separation above the roof surface and near the side walls of a cubic building. The numerical prediction of the wind-induced pressure on building surfaces, especially on roof and side walls, has also been improved as compared with the k- ϵ model method.
