This paper presents and discusses the important aspects to take into account when applying
CFD simulations for the determination of wind loads on high-rise buildings. A review is given …

The present work aims to study the effects of turbulence intensity on the three-dimensional
spatial distribution of unsteady gust loading on a 5: 1 rectangular cylinder. Three types of …

The use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the wind engineering (WE) is generally
defined as computational wind engineering (CWE). Since its foundation in 2004, the use of …

This paper presents an extensive review of existing techniques used in estimating design
wind pressures considering Reynolds number and turbulence effects, as well as a case …

The aerodynamics of a stationary two-dimensional cylinder with rectangular 5: 1 cross
section is the object of an international experimental and numerical benchmark study …

A sensitivity analysis of highly-resolved large-eddy simulations of the flow around a 5: 1
rectangular cylinder to the introduction of a small rounding of the upstream edges is …

A detailed experimental campaign into separated shear layers stemming from rectangular
sections (having aspect ratios of 5: 1, 3: 1 and 1: 1) was carried out at Reynolds numbers …

The present paper examines the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a 5: 1 rectangular cylinder
with a detached splitter in its near wake. The tested gap ratio between the cylinder and the …

The accurate evaluation of wind loads on high-rise buildings represents a key point in their
design process. Traditionally, atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel tests, conceived in …

The classical approach currently used in the bridge engineering industry for the structural
and aeroelastic design of bridges is based on an iterative heuristic process which includes …
