<b>Evaluation of CFD simulations with wind tunnel experiments: pressure coefficients at openings in sawtooth building

Abstract: Wind tunnel experiments and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are used to analyze natural ventilation in a sawtooth roof building. A 1:10 scale model is tested in an atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel. The CFD simulations are performed with Ansys CFX software. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability of CFD simulation in predicting pressure data at opening height in a sawtooth roof building with wind tunnel data. The model is evaluated for prevailing wind in five directions: 0 and … Show more

“…The accuracy of simulation results may vary depending on the phenomenon being observed. For instance when comparing fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, with data from an inductively coupled plasma generator at atmospheric pressure a deviation of approximately 7 -8% was observed [13]. Similarly when comparing CFD simulations with wind tunnel experiments for openings in a sawtooth building a deviation of around 10% was found [14].…”

“…Furthermore, standard wall functions were assigned for the ground and building surfaces, and the near-wall velocity profiles were modeled so that a transition between the fully turbulent area and the region near the wall is considered due to the turbulence models requiring complementary information in the near-wall region [101]. The non-dimensional parameter y+ that describes the treatment near the walls was measured in 58, which is within the best practice interval from 30 to 300 for k-ε turbulence model [102,103]. A zero-static pressure (fixedValue) was applied at the outlet plane, also assigned with a velocity inlet/outlet type.…”
