Influence of Turbulence, Orientation, and Site Configuration on the Response of Buildings to Extreme Wind
Figure 7
STD displacement response () of the top corner of the building under different flow conditions and site configurations: (a) -direction; (b) -direction. Turbulence is very significant in increasing the cross-wind responses in the two directions. The smooth flow resulted in a relatively high cross-wind response in the -direction () at 360° due to vortex shedding (see Figure 11).
