The quality of numerical modelling of the flow around two buildings with different heights. (Received in the final form February 9, 2010)
Journal Title: Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science - Year 2009, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper is devoted to the problems with quality of numerical modeling for two-dimensional incompressible flow around two models of buildings with different heights. The calculations have been made with use of the turbulence model k-ε in the standard version and with the Finite Volume Method. The quality evaluation for the calculation is based on the comparison of the results with measurements in a wind tunnel. Hence, in this paper there have been presented the graphs of averaged velocities which are results of author's own measurements, as well as the graphs presenting the error in the calculated flow velocities. The main conclusion drawn from the research is that the flow around two models is more complicated than the flow around the single one and therefore the calculation results for the set of models are less accurate in comparison with the ones obtained for the single model.

Improved two-dimensional cracked finite element for crack fault diagnosis
In this paper the two-dimensional finite element with an embedded edge crack proposed by Potirniche et al. (2008) is improved further for crack depth ratios ranging up to 0.9 and for predicting the natural frequency of a...
Identification of aerodynamic coefficients of a projectile and reconstruction of its trajectory from partial flight data
Several optimization techniques are proposed both to identify the aerodynamic coefficients and to reconstruct the trajectory of a fin-stabilized projectile from partial flight data. A reduced ballistic model is used inst...
