Aerodynamic interference effects of a proposed taller high‐rise building on wind pressures on existing tall buildings

Abstract

When a large super high-rise building taller than the surrounding tall buildings is built in a dense urban area, the aerodynamic interference effects of the surrounding buildings on the proposed building attract much attention, while the interference effects of the taller high-rise building on the nearby existing buildings are often ignored.Based on a series of wind tunnel tests, the interference effects of a proposed taller high-rise building, an adjacent equal-height partner building, and relatively short background buildings on the target building's local wind pressures are analysed in this

Study of Pressure Distribution on an Irregular Octagonal Plan Oval-Shape Building Using CFD

“…Nagar et al (2020) [19] studied pressure coefficient and IF for different interference conditions of square and H plan shaped tall buildings having same plan area and reported that H plan shape is subjected to higher pressure than the square model. Proximity effects on an existing target tall building due to proposed super tall building with a pair of similar buildings adjacent to the target building has been studied by Quan et al (2020) [20]. It was reported that the aerodynamic response of the target building increased considerably when the proposed super building exists in the flow direction upstream the target building.…”

Proximity effects between two plus-plan shaped high-rise buildings on mean and RMS pressure coefficients

“…Chen et al [39] and Quan et al [40] studied the proximity effects on an existing target tall building with existence of a proposed super tall building and a pair of adjacent buildings of similar height. The results showed that the aerodynamic response of the target building was considerably increased when the proposed super-tall building existed upstream.…”
