    Notes: The random vortex method of Chorin1 provides a numerical simulation of high-Reynolds number flow in two dimensions. The method can be used to model the viscous interaction of wind with a surface-mounted obstacle of arbitrary cross-section. In this paper the method has been used to investigate the flow of wind over common building shapes; an inlet profile is chosen to represent the stationary aspects of the atmospheric boundary layer. The evolution of flow over a short time-interval after flow initialization is depicted, and a mean value of pressure coefficient, Cp, is calculated over the building perimeter. Some comparison is made with published wind-tunnel measurements for the case of a surface-mounted square-section block and for a building model with 10° roof pitch.

    Notes: The steady Navier-Stokes equation is solved to simulate the wind-flow environment of three-dimensional configurations of buildings. The method assumes an incident wind described by a power-law velocity profile. A new method for controlling the two-part nested solution iteration is introduced. The simulation is compared to some published wind-tunnel measurements.

    Notes: Numerical solutions to the Navier-Stokes equation may provide designers with predictions of the wind environment of buildings under design. To investigate this possibility, two complementary solution procedures are implemented for two-dimensional geometry: a random vortex method to depict the flow evolution, and a control volume method to depict the steady flow field. These are both illustrated by specific application to the case of a building form with a roof of arbitrary pitch.
