| Abstract | ||
| Under building opening conditions, wind-induced internal pressure may significantly alter the structural behavior of the building envelope. This study investigates the dynamic characteristics and response patterns of wind induced internal pressure through transient CFD simulations, proposing a computational method for quantifying Helmholtz resonance frequency in buildings with openings. The influence of opening size, quantity, and location on dynamic characteristics and wind load responses was systematically examined. Key findings reveal: 1) The proposed method effectively predicts Helmholtz resonance frequencies, demonstrating consistent trends with theoretical models; 2) The Helmholtz frequency exhibits strong linear correlation with opening area—larger openings increase Helmholtz frequencies while reducing damping ratios, with leeward openings substantially diminishing damping ratios; 3) Changes in indoor and outdoor pressures often exhibit an opposite trend to the net pressure, while an increase in the damping ratio typically leads to higher internal pressure. These results provide critical theoretical support for determining wind loads on openable curtain wall panels and roof penetrations in architectural engineering. | ||
