Min Kyu Kim, Soonpil Kang and Thomas H.-K. Kang

 
Abstract
    An accurate assessment of aerodynamic effects on structures is essential for a reliable wind design for high-rise buildings. Turbulence model is a key ingredient of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in calculating the wind flow fields. This paper aims to identify the properties of representative RANS and LES models particularly for wind load determination. The models investigated are the realizable k-
