Numerical Statistic Approach for Peak Factor of Non-Gaussian Wind Pressure on Building Claddings by Tao Ye, Ledong Zhu, Zhongxu Tan

“…The non-Gaussian features are found to be prominent at leading edge airflow separation on the crosswind side, the leeward corner cuts, the windward corner cuts, and the junction of two leeward surfaces at 45° wind direction angle of square section. The junction of two leeward surfaces at 45° wind direction angle exhibits stronger non-Gaussian features than the crosswind surface at 0° wind direction angle. …”
