摘要

To investigate the wind field characteristics around the twin-tower high-rise building linked with connective structures at different wind angles, this study first used Fluent to calculate the wind pressure coefficients of the standard high-rise building model (Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Research Council, CAARC) under conditions such as the SST k-ω turbulence model, and compared the results with existing experimental data to verify the accuracy of the numerical simulation method. The study also focused on the twin-tower high-rise building linked with connective structures “Tongshan Eye” in Ningbo, Zhejiang, and obtained the wind pressure coefficients and wind speed on the building surface at various wind direction angles through numerical simulation. Research indicates that under different wind direction angles, the windward faces of the twin-tower high-rise building linked with connective structures primarily experience wind pressure, with the wind pressure coefficients showing a distribution trend of larger values at the top and smaller values at the bottom. At approximately 2/3 of the building height on the outer side of the tower, the wind pressure coefficients are almost at their maximum value. Wind suction is predominant on the inner surfaces of the tower and on both sides of the connecting corridor. When the wind direction angle is 270°, both the average wind speed and the maximum wind speed on planes at different heights are at their maximum values. At this time, the outer surface of the curved corner of the tower is subjected to greater wind suction, and the wind pressure coefficient is about -2.0. The flow separation phenomenon is more pronounced here, thus this phenomenon needs to be carefully considered and addressed in the building design. The conclusions of the study can provide a reference for wind-resistant design, building layout, and selection of wind direction in fire simulation for similar twin-tower high-rise building linked with connective structures, thereby enhancing its overall stability and safety in complex environments.
