Abstract
AbstractThe random vortex method of Chorin1 provides a numerical simulation of high‐Reynolds number flow in two dimensions. The method can be used to model the viscous interaction of wind with a surface‐mounted obstacle of arbitrary cross‐section. In this paper the method has been used to investigate the flow of wind over common building shapes; an inlet profile is chosen to represent the stationary aspects of the atmospheric boundary layer. The evolution of flow over a short time‐interval after flow initialization is depicted, and a mean value of pressure coefficient, Cp, is calculated over the building perimeter. Some comparison is made with published wind‐tunnel measurements for the case of a surface‐mounted square‐section block and for a building model with 10° roof pitch.
