 Steady 3D RANS CFD simulations for wind pressures on buildings with balconies  Detailed grid-sensitivity analysis and validation with wind tunnel measurements  Building balconies strongly influence mean wind pressures at building facades  Local differences in mean wind pressure coefficients: increase of 0.6, decrease of 0.7  3D steady RANS gives very accurate results: 10-15% accuracy at windward facade.
