Computational simulation of wind flow behind a rectangular building

A computational model has been developed to determine wind characteristics in the wake of a rectangular building. A length of the recirculation zone behind the building has been determined using the Reynolds-Averaged-Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. Tests were performed for rural, suburban, and urban type terrains. The computational results indicate a reduced wake length behind the building for rougher terrains, i.e. for stronger wind turbulence in the oncoming flow.
