Wind action on circular cross section was described in many publications. It finds an application for flue gas ducts, pipelines, silo or chimneys. This study concentrate on elements with diameter greater than 1m. There are well recognized analytical solutions of static calculation with uses Fourier-series for wind distribution. Although during last 10 years numerical methods of solving problems get more popular, especially among young engineers. For surface structures ability of analytical finding internal forces disappears, and Finish Element Method substitutes analytical calculation. Modelling of wind load in FEM programs cause several problems. Using wind load distribution proposed in Eurocode 1-4, or from laboratory test, it is usually necessary to divide circular cross-section into 32 up to 72 rectangular elements. Applying load in that way is the most accurate method to imitate wind load in FE model. From the other hand that take much time, and requires preparing data about distribution before modelling. Applying wind on complicated model, with many independent parts of piping, for at least 2 load cases cause faults and slows down work. This paper shows and compares a few proposal wind load models for numerical calculation. Those models were built to obtain accurate internal forces in compare to Eurocode procedure. Proposed models offers simplification of Geometry in numerical model, and saves of time. It also helps to make FE mesh become independent from structural nodes, lines or divisions. This paper concern on one case of one Reynolds number, with refers to 2m wide cylinder, wind velocity of 22m/s and surface roughness of steel plate – 0,05 mm. This paper compares different wind load distributions, in terms of required number of division of model, time consuming, precision of results. Author selected one proposal load distribution, with give equivalent internal forces as wind load distribution obtained from Wind Flow simulation (for example CFD method). Proposed model is useful for structural engineers and statics in offer stage of project. With some safety factor it can be also used as wind load as case for detailing cylindrical structures.
