Description
Summary:This paper presents the results of numerical and experimental modelling of mean and peak pressure coefficients for window assemblies on a rectangular building. The applicability of the SST and GEKO k-ω turbulence models implemented in ANSYS Fluent is investigated. A simple steady-state method for determining the peak wind pressures, which utilizes the turbulence kinetic energy calculation, is shown to be sufficient for practical purposes. A comparative analysis with the values of pressure coefficients given in the Russian building code is carried out. The obtained results can be used in the design of window assemblies of typical buildings.
