Abstract

AbstractThe air pressure in a drainage stack of a high-rise building test platform (HBTP) is mathematically modeled by unsteady one-dimensional (1+1) partial differential equations, in which an additional term is introduced to reflect the gas-liquid interphase interaction, the stack top-base effect. This model is crucial for understanding the characteristics of air pressure variation, which is significant for the recognition of the HBTP’s operational performance. A time-splitting based characteristic line method is used to solve the 1+1 type governing equations, with the model parameters being calibrated by the measured data obtained on the HBTP. It is concluded that the generally used Saint-Venant equations should be extended appropriately so that the stack air pressure can be satisfactorily predicted.
