Wind Tunnel Studies On Tapered Tall Building With Aerodynamic Modification

Abstract

This study investigates the aerodynamic performance of tapered tall buildings with and without corner modifications using both wind tunnel testing and ANSYS CFD simulations. The main goal is to see how changing the corners of buildings from sharp to rounded can help reduce the force of the wind and make buildings more stable. We took four different building models. Two and Four tapered buildings which had sharp corners, and Two and Four tapered buildings which had rounded corners. To study this, we used two methods: wind tunnel testing and computer simulation using ANSYS CFD software.
