Surrounding buildings and wind pressure distribution on a high-rise building [PDF]
, 2008 The effect of the surrounding lower buildings on the wind pressure distribution on a high-rise building is investigated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). When B/H=0.1, it is found that the wind pressure on the windward side was reduced especially on
