Abstract
k-e turbulence model is used as turbulence model for modeling airflow about several shapes of buildings. The computed results agree well with the wind tunnel experimental data, and it is demonstrated that k-e turbulence model is suitable for the simulation of airflow around buildings and subsequently of airflow around a set of buildings. It is demonstrated that the airflow near buildings is very complicated, and has an influence on the air environmental quality near buildings.
