Simulation of a Combination of Seismic and Wind Loads in Designing High-Rise Buildings
The paper examines the main statements of the methodology of evaluating aerodynamic effects of wind currents on high-rise buildings. The authors present examples of simulating the velocity field of the air flow around the streamlined buildings and structures and of distributing the aerodynamic loads along the surfaces of buildings. Obtained mathematical modeling values of the pressure coefficient distribution along the surface of the building are compared with results of physical experiments.
