Abstract
The removal of snowdrifts resulting from snowstorms is often a physically intensive work in Antarctica. Therefore, it is important to consider snowdrift around buildings in construction planning. In this study, we predicted snowdrift using a small experimental facility and existing numerical-analysis software that can be easily implemented. First, the snow cover around a cube model resulting from a snowstorm was calculated through numerical analysis. And the validity of numerical analysis was examined. To consider the effect of the form of a proposed Antarctic building on snowdrift, the snowdrift around buildings of an Antarctic base was then predicted by numerical analysis. As a result, it is thus expected that work involved in removing snowdrifts can be reduced through the appropriate design of curved-roof Antarctic buildings employing numerical analysis.
