Polygonal Model

Introduction

In this database, the wind pressures acting on high-rise buildings with various polygonal cross-sections, including triangular, square, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, dodecagon,and circular based on the wind tunnel experiment were uploaded. Wind pressure measurements were conducted on 13 straight and helical models. For more information, please refer to the following journal paper.

Experiment Conditions

Profiles

The experiments were conducted under urbanarea flow (power-lawindex, α = 0.27) for various wind directions. The wind speed at the model height was about UH = 12m/s, and the turbulence intensity was about IuH = 11%.
