TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present guidelines for using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques for predicting pedestrian wind environment around buildings in the design stage, based on cross-comparison between CFD predictions, wind tunnel test results and field measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, a working group was organized by the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIG) to make a guideline for CFD prediction of the wind environment, and various comparative studies were carried out as follows.

TL;DR: In this article, an aeroelastic 3D square cylinder immersed in the turbulent boundary layer is modeled as a 4-lumped mass system and it vibrates with two degrees of freedom of heaving motion.

TL;DR: In this paper, a working group for CFD prediction of the wind environment around a building was organized by the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ), which consisted of researchers from several universities and private companies.

TL;DR: In this article, the wind-induced vibration of a square cylinder is simulated by solving Navier-Stokes equations, and the effects of inflow turbulence to the aerodynamic forces acting on the cylinder at rest are shown.
