Study on Downburst Wind Load under Characteristic Topography

Abstract:

Gemorphological type is the important factor influencing the downburst wind profile. In this thesis, firstly we determine four categories of landform types under the criteria of roughness. The CFD pre-processing software GAMBIT was used to build considering the landscape type's downburst CFD computational model. Then, the established CFD computational model was imported to the calculated hydrodynamics software FLUENT to take the numerical simulation of the downburst under different landforms. Finally, in allusion to the numerical simulation result, make the research of the wind characteristics.
