The Numerical Simulation and Analysis of Wind Pressure Distribution on Sloping Roof of Storey Factory

Article Preview

Abstract:

As wind-induced damage always occurs at the roof of storey factory, the roof pressure of storey factory under different wind directions was analyzed based on the Realizable k-ε turbulence model. Hexahedral element based numerical modeling was chosen, and the pressure-linked equations were solved with fast-convergence SIMPLEC algorithm. The results showed the wind pressure at the leading edge from the windward side is far greater than other regions of the roof, indicating this area should be the main issue in wind-resistant design.
