Simulation of Wind Environment around a Commercial Complex Building in Shenyang China

Abstract:

The pedestrian safety and comfort is closely related to the wind environment around the commercial complex building. In this paper, we simulate the steady-state three-dimensional flow field around a commercial complex building which is still under construction in Shenyang city by using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software. The distribution of wind speed and pressure around the commercial complex are obtained. In summer wind speed around complex is 0.5-3.6 m/s and the differential pressure greater than 1.5 Pa under the dominant wind. In winter wind speed is 0.5-4 m/s and the differential pressure less than 5 Pa except windward under the dominant wind. Local vortex appeared in both summer and winter due to the shape of complex building. The commercial complex building also had an impact on the wind environment of the surrounding buildings, larger the building, greater the impact.
