Main ContribExamples/HighRiseBuildingInCityBlocks

From OpenFOAMWiki

1 Short description

This turorial case analyzes wind environment around high-rise building in city blocks. It can automatically vary in wind direction of inlet flow among 0, 22.5, 45 degree. It also compares CFD result with wind tunnel experiment results.

2 Usage

To run this tutorial case automatically, just type:

./Allrun

It will automatically calculate three different wind direction cases, so it would take a long time to finish. If you want to calculate each cases manually, type ./Allrun in directory of each cases.

After the execution it would makes figures listed below.

  • res.eps - Initial residual
  • velocityThermistor.eps - Comparison between present CFD result and wind tunnel experiment results measured by thermistor anemometer
  • corvelocityThermistor.eps - Correlation between present CFD result and wind tunnel experiment results measured by thermistor anemometer
  • velocitySplit.eps - Comparison between present CFD result and wind tunnel experiment results measured by anemometer with split-fiber probe (only in deg0 case)

To clean all files this tutorial makes, just type:

./Allclean
