Abstract

This paper presents a cross-validation study of Large-eddy simulation (LES) of wind effects on a super-tall building with surrounding buildings by wind tunnel testing and full-scale measurement. To validate the numerical simulations, the wind tunnel experiments including synchronous multi-pressure and high-frequency force balance model tests are conducted in a boundary layer wind tunnel laboratory. The numerical predictions are then compared with the experimental results, and the comparison demonstrates that the LES can provide comparable predictions of wind effects on the super-tall building. Furthermore, the cross-validation of the predicted displacement responses by the LES against the wind tunnel and full-scale measurements is presented and the agreement among them is reasonably good.
