Numerical Simulation of CAARC Standard High-Rise Building Model Based on MRT-LBM Large Eddy Simulation by Rui Zhao, Zehua Feng, Danhui Dan, Yuhang Wu, Xianduo Li

“…The calculation of wind load of high-rise buildings depends on the wind pressure distribution data and wind pressure coefficient on the outer surface of the building, but the actual wind pressure measurement of high-rise buildings is difficult to carry out. In order to obtain the effective wind pressure coefficient of the building and the application of the extended lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in the wind resistance of high-rise buildings, in this paper, the wall-adapting local eddy (WALE) model, dynamic Smagorinsky model (DSM), and Smagorinsky model (SM) are embedded into LBM with multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) format. …”
