AIJ guidelines for practical applications of CFD to pedestrian wind environment around buildings
Yoshihide Tominaga,Akashi Mochida,Ryuichiro Yoshie,Hiroto Kataoka,Tsuyoshi Nozu,Masaru Yoshikawa,Taichi Shirasawa +6 more
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.

CFD Prediction of Wind Environment around a High-rise Building Located in an Urban Area
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-rise building surrounded by low-rise urban blocks in a turbulent boundary layer was calculated, and the results were compared with those of the wind tunnel experiments conducted by the present authors.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
LES of Fluctuating Pressures on a High-Rise Building Influenced by Windward Building
Masaru Yoshikawa,Tetsuro Tamura +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the accuracy of LES to predict the fluctuating pressures on a high-rise building influenced by windward building is examined by comparison with experimental results, focusing on the case that local peak pressure occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recommendation of Gust Factor for Assessment of Pedestrian Wind Environment Based on Probability of Exceedance of Daily Maximum Gust Wind Speed
Ryuichiro Yoshie,Yoshihide Tominaga,Shinji Ito,Hajime Okada,Hiroto Kataoka,Hitomitsu Kikitsu,Kiyoshi Sasaki,Hiroaki Nishimura,Hiroshi Noda,Koji Hayashida,Koichi Miyashita,Toru Yamanaka,Masaru Yoshikawa +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a model equation of the gust factors based on field observation data at 152 sites, and confirmed the applicability of it to the assessment of pedestrian wind environment.
