ABSTRACT

This computational work aims at studying the three – dimensional turbulent wind flow around two square buildings with pyramid roofs of trivial architectural forms for an arbitrary geographical location. The overall investigation substantially reduces to the fundamental problem of an external three – dimensional turbulent flow field past a mounted obstacle of predefined shape. The novelty of this research is that the independency of the numerical solution for any possible distribution of mesh points was demonstrated in a theoretical manner without the necessity of changing the original grid with simultaneous repetition of the computational process.
