Outline of Final Research Achievements

Downburst wind field and downburst-induced wind loads on a flat-roofed low-rise building have been investigated experimentally by using a downburst simulator that we developed. The downburst simulator consists of a blower of 0.6 m diameter that can move horizontally at a constant speed up to 2 m/s and a shutter-type opening installed above the outlet of the blower. The simulator can generate a pulsed jet and a moving draft either separately or simultaneously. Using this simulator, the flow structure in the downburst were first measured under various conditions. Then, non-stationary wind pressures and wind forces acting on the building were measured. The results indicate that they are significantly different from those of turbulent boundary layers.
A CFD model that can reproduce the wind field of downburst has been developed. Using this CFD model, we can investigate the downburst-induced flow fields and pressures on buildings in detail.
