Testing the application of CFD for building design: Towards a CFD application as a design tool

The goal of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of the method CFD by engineers in determining wind loads on structures and ideally contribute to the development of a future design tool. The field of wind engineering is explored and wind tunnel and CFD modelling is discussed. Results determined with wind tunnel tests and CFD simulations are compared and verified. This is the focus of this thesis. Recommended actions for a guideline on post-processing steps are presented. Conclusions that are drawn concern the wall-adjacent cell height, the use of turbulence models and simulation methods.
