Evaluation of a Measurement Turbulence Model of the Wind Pressure on the Ruin of a Fortified Tower

An analysis of the external pressure coefficient on the surface of a ruin in different flow directions is presented. The ruin has almost cube-like proportions with an open roof plane and a destroyed corner. Flow simulations were performed using 3D Time Steady RANS and compared with experimental resu...

description An analysis of the external pressure coefficient on the surface of a ruin in different flow directions is presented. The ruin has almost cube-like proportions with an open roof plane and a destroyed corner. Flow simulations were performed using 3D Time Steady RANS and compared with experimental results from the boundary layer wind tunnel at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. The optimal turbulence model and internal mesh settings were selected based on their statistical evaluation. For an evaluation of the critical directions of the wind flow around the ruin, the values of the external wind pressure coefficient were obtained from the selected calculation model and settings.
