Study on the Wind Pressure Distribution in Complicated Spatial Structure Based on k-ε Turbulence Models by Jing Wang, Shixiong Zhou, Hui Liu, Shixing Zhao, Fei He, Lei Zhao

“…Moreover, it is found that wind pressure distribution on the surface of the structure is highly sensitive to wind angle, exhibiting extreme negative pressure coefficients of −1.1, −1.0, and −1.8 at angles of 0°, 30°, and 60°, respectively. The analysis of the flow field around the structure at various wind angles reveals that its complex shape significantly alters the flow dynamics, creating distinct vortices and wake patterns at different angles. …”
