Roughness constant selection for atmospheric boundary layer simulations using a k-ω SST turbulence model within a commercial CFD solver
September 2024
Transit of an atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) profile within computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations is often hindered through unintended streamwise gradients in the flow resulting in ABL inhomogeneity....

Numerical investigation of wind-induced snowdrift on a long-span saddle-shaped roof based on the k-kl-ω model
September 2024
Long-span structures are more vulnerable to the imbalanced distribution of snow loads, which is a primary factor contributing to structural failure. The development of snowdrifts is directly related...
