Abstract: |
The effect of pressure because of the winds on the exterior of gable roof of a low-rise single-storey building has been analyzed in present research using CFD simulation. Roof slope, which is most important factor for safety of structure was taken into consideration. Many past researchers have studied roofed structures but the majority of these researches have been carried on flat roofs, hip roof, spherical roofs, pyramidal roofs. There is need of researches that analyses effect of winds on gable roofs as these kinds of roofs are generally more susceptible to wind damage. ANSYS ICM is used for modeling and meshing and ANSYS Fluent for simulation. Results are extracted here using CFD post. In this very study three models with slope ang 10°, 20° and 30° with same incidence angle 0° were examined. This study analyses the effect of slope of the roof and angle of incidence of wind. The streamlines of velocity around the building model and pressure coefficient (Cp ) contours on the surfaces of the roof are opted here to represent the results. When results were plotted it was found that pressure coefficients were switching from negative to positive as the slope of the roof increases and the formation of vortex on leeward gets complicated as we go on increasing the slopes. |
