What is Effects of Roof Shapes on Wind-induced Air Motion Inside Buildings about?
The eflects of roof shape on wind-induced air motion inside buildings were analysed by using a numerical simulation: computationalfluid dynamics (CFD). The average indoor velocity coejjkient, a non-dimensional indoor air motion parameter, was used to calculate the relative strength of the interior air movement in the horizontal plane representative of the occupied space of the room. The distribution of average velocity between inlet and outlet, which enabled observation of the interior air motion behaviour, was analysed. The coefficient of spatial variation was used to investigate the uniformity of airflow inside the building. It was observed that the shape qf the roof directly afjkcted the airjow pattern, especially the velocity magnitude. The importance of wind direction, building overhang and roof height was also investigated.
