CFD Simulations of Snowdrifts on a Gable Roof: Impacts of Wind Velocity and Snowfall Intensity

CFD Simulations of Snowdrifts on a Gable Roof: Impacts of Wind Velocity and Snowfall Intensity

Roof structures are suffering serious threats caused by unbalanced snow distribution, especially long-span spatial structures, such as gable roofs. The formation of unbalanced snowdrifts on the gable roof is affected by the meteorological condition and the drifting snow. This study was conducted to...
