ABOUT “LEGITIMIZATION” OF NUMERICAL MODELLING OF WIND IMPACTS ON BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES IN DESIGN CODES
Main Article Content
Abstract
The distinctive paper is detoded to problem of “legitimization” of numerical modelling of wind loads and impacts on buildings and structures. General information about computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and its development prospects is presented. The main advantages and disadvantages of numerical simulation compared with tests in wind tunnels (wind tunnel tests) are considered. Besides, information about the second modification of corresponding Russian design codes (SP 20.13330.2016 “SNiP 2.01.07-85* Loads and effects”) is provided. Prospects for the further development of numerical modelling and its applications for solution of problems of construction aerodynamics are given.
