The demand for tall buildings has increased over the past decades for cultural, financial, and
technological reasons. Such slender structures are more flexible and vulnerable to wind …

Façade geometrical details can substantially influence the near-façade airflow patterns and
pressures. This is especially the case for building balconies as their presence can lead to …

The presence of building balconies can significantly modify the near-façade wind flow
pattern and surface pressures. The present study evaluates the impact of building balcony …

The present study investigates the impact of building façade geometrical details on the
pollutant transport mechanism in long street canyons. Large-eddy simulations (LES) …

Featured Application The Louisiana State University (LSU) Windstorm Impact, Science, and
Engineering (WISE) Open-Jet Testing facility is instrumental in enhancing structural …

This work conducted wind tunnel experiments and high-fidelity numerical simulations to
study the flow phenomenology around and aerodynamic characteristics of a transversely …

The horizontal and vertical ribs provided at the facade of high-rise buildings have been
found effective in reducing local and overall wind loads. This paper experimentally studies …

The façade ribs have shown good performance on mitigation of wind effect on high-rise
building. In present paper, LES approach is used to evaluate the impact of horizontal ribs on …

Façade appurtenances are found to be able to improve the aerodynamic performance of tall
building. In present paper, impact of façade ribs on the flow structure and wind force of high …

Building-façade-mounted appurtenances are found to be effective for reducing wind loads
on high-rise buildings. In this study, large eddy simulations (LES) are performed to …
