Slenderness effects on the flow over an array of tall buildings with random heights
Slenderness effects on the flow over an array of tall buildings with random heights
The study in this report investigates the slenderness effects on the flow over a staggered array of random height buildings by adjusting the mean aspect ratio of the buildings. Large-Eddy Simulations was used to produce and gather data using both cyclic inlet-outlet and synthetic turbulence generation inlet boundary conditions. It was found that the slenderer buildings were less sensitive to the approaching wind direction. This was because the integral length scales of the turbulence generated by the slenderer buildings are significantly larger than for low-rise buildings

Abstract
The study in this report investigates the slenderness effects on the flow over a staggered array of random height buildings by adjusting the mean aspect ratio of the buildings. Large-Eddy Simulations was used to produce and gather data using both cyclic inlet-outlet and synthetic turbulence generation inlet boundary conditions. It was found that the slenderer buildings were less sensitive to the approaching wind direction. This was because the integral length scales of the turbulence generated by the slenderer buildings are significantly larger than for low-rise buildings
