Abstract

Under wind action, the property of non-Gaussian wind pressure distribution is very important for determination of peak factor, simulation of fluctuating wind pressure and design of cladding and components. Since the distribution of non-Gaussian zone is highly irregular based on the statistical method, any effort on giving regular non-Gaussian zone regions cant reflect the real non-Gaussian property. Considering the fact that non-Gaussian property was induced by flow separation and generally the movement of vortex showed the character of time averaged steady, taking a typical low-rise building as the example, the distribution of limiting streamlines and the theory of flow separation was applied in the research. Results show that the distribution of limiting streamlines has a close relationship with the intensity of non-Gaussian property and can be used as an intuitionistic tool in the research of identification and mechanism for non-Gaussian properties.
