Project Description
Acting as barriers, three structures set in a triangular pattern will have simulated airflow around them for this project. The buildings are struck by wind entering the region horizontally at 5 m/s.
Project Objective
The goal is to look at how wind flow around the structures changes after impact and to analyse the area between the buildings' circulation.
Methodology
Design Modeller software runs the 3D modelling; ANSYS Meshing with an unstructured mesh type handles meshing. With smaller and more precise cells next to the structures, the total number of elements is 6,392,910.
Conclusion
Velocity and pressure contours, velocity vectors and 2D pathlines, as well as velocity vectors, are produced upon finishing the solution procedure. The findings draw attention to the development of maximum wind speeds at the building tips and the generation of separation vortices behind the structures. Especially, the vortex behind the middle building is symmetrical and larger because of vortex interaction. The pressure contour shows highest pressure in front of the centre building.
