In this paper, the problem of the calculated characteristics giving is solved by numerical simulation, the estimated pressure indicates average components of the aerodynamic forces and moments are calculated, localization of peak pressure values are defined.
In the current design practice dominates the semi-empirical approach based on the decomposition of the velocity and pressure at the time averaged and fluctuating components and the transition to the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stoks Method, RANS), while shear (Reynolds) stress six unknowns are additional to the parameters of the mean flow and approximated, as a rule, by the Boussinesq hypothesis: Calculations are made of the complex aerodynamics of wind in the software package ANSYS CFD 15.0.
Using the modern numerical fluid dynamics methods, implemented in a universal software package ANSYS CFX 14.5 and specialized modules WINDLOAD / CFX, with verified three-dimensional numerical simulations average wind loads at the 36 wind directions (via 100) were determinate. 3.

Determination of the fluid loading Significant progress in the field of CFD(computational fluid dynamics) has been made, and it has been used as an efficient tool for the prediction of fluid loads.
Because Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) modeling can reasonably simulate mean wind characteristics and require less computing time than other CFD methods, it is the most widely used method in many industrial applications.
For the numerical simulation, the governing equations of the incompressible turbulent wind flow around circular membrane presented by the RANS equations as follows: (4) (5) Using the dynamic mesh model in FLUENT allows for the arbitrary motion of fluid boundaries and in doing so, captures the response of the fluid to the prescribed boundary motion.

To investigate the device’s flow characteristics, the CFD numerical simulation models of the injection device with different structural and controlling parameters were built and related bench tests of the gas fuel engine equipped with the injection system were completed.
To comprehensively optimize the development accuracy, period and cost, both the methods of bench test and CFD simulation were adopted to confirm the flow rate characteristics.
As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, the test platform of the flow rate characteristics and simulation grid were built.
After massive numecrical simulation, the final flow formula was confirmed as G=0.05(Δt-Δt1) on the condition that the minimal injection width was double size of the transit time, which ,in practice, could be meet in the majority engine operating conditions as the gas fuel engine is applied as an heavy-power stationary powerplant.
(2) The simulation models and test bench of the injection device were established.

Gan and Riffat[5] investigated The performance of a glazed solar chimney for heat recovery in naturally-ventilated buildings was investigated using the CFD technique.
The probe was placed at 70-126 points at the chimney channel 1m above the chimney inlet.A computational fluid dynamic(CFD) [6] numerical simulation showed that at this position,the influence of disturbances from the chimney inlet and the reverse flow from the chimney outlet were small,and the airflow are essentially parallel to the chimney wall.The reverse flow was enlarged with the increase of the width of the chimney.Through moving the probe in the chimney cross-section 1m above the chimney inlet,the velocity of any position at the level surface were obtained.
Fig.5,Fig.6 and Fig.7 show the comparison of numerical simulation[6] and experimental airflow rate through the chimney width and 200,300 and400W/m2 heat input.
