The Influence of the Convective Terms Discretization Scheme on the Simulation Results of Architectural Numerical Wind Tunnel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The numerical simulation of construction is to obtain the desired accuracy. It depends on the theoretical basis of the calculator and selection of the various important factors in the actual operation. For this problem, this paper adopting the current code for the design of building structures as the comparison standard, using the FLUENT software, taking the numerical simulation results of a high building’s wind load shape coefficient of for example, discussing the influence of four kinds of the convective terms discretization scheme, respectively the first-order upwind, the second order upwind , power law and Quadratic upwind interpolation for convective kinematics, on the simulation results of architectural numerical wind tunnel, provides the reference for the rational use of numerical wind tunnel method.
