Experimental and Numerical Research of the Flow Features Around the Building Pairs with Different Types
Abstract
Flow structure on the building is a primary factor in dispersing of air
pollutants into and around of the building. Therefore, it is required to
determine air motions outside of the building. In this study, flow features at
the vicinity of the two building models with rooftop and without rooftop having
same dimensions were investigated experimentally and numerically. In the
experimental part of the study, flow structures around buildings having
dimensions of 5x5x5cm without rooftop and 5x5x5cm with 30o slope and
rooftop were examined firstly by placing one by one and afterwards they were
analysed by leaving a distance of 13.75cm as binary placed (with rooftop,
without rooftop and with and without rooftop) by using Particle Image Velocimetry
(PIV). In the numerical part of the study, experimental works carried out by
placing binary building was researched by using ANSYS Fluent 12.1 software with
k-ε turbulance model as three dimensional, steady and the obtained numerical
results were compared with experimental results. Instantaneous velocity fields
were firstly obtained at the experiments and then stream lines <Ψ> and
vortex peer curves <ω> were plotted by using these datas. Average
equivalent velocity curves distributions in the x and y directions were also
investigated both for building models. The results showed that the vortexes
occurred behind the building for the building without rooftop (model A) were
symmetric with each other whereas they were not symmetric at the building with
rooftop (model B). Also, the lengths of the vortexes at the rear of the model B
increased 7.5% according to model A. The obtained result demonstrated that the
rooftop had an effect on the flow structure. However, it was seen that the
results were confirmed with a deviation of 3% when compared experimental
results with numerical.
