Abstract

The flow past buildings at higher speeds result in low static pressurethat causes uncomfortable breathing for personal moving around in the vicinity. A new arrangement of buildings in a multiple building environment is suggested and analysed that results in pressure recovery by cancelling the vertical flows from two directions. Wind Tunnel models are fabricated and tested in a subsonic open test section wind tunnel.Numerical analysis is done for comparison of results using ANSYS. The findings are very encouraging.
