Numerical Simulation and Optimization of Wind Effects of Porous Parapets on Low-Rise Buildings with Flat Roofs

This paper presents a procedure to optimize the porosity of parapets to improve the aerodynamic behavior of low-rise buildings with flat roofs, by coupling an optimization algorithm and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The performance of solid parapets to decrease the wind suctions on...
