 Aerodynamic Optimisation of Tall Buildings in Extreme Wind Condition with CFD Using Ansys Fluents: Evidence from Literature

There has been a noticeable increase in the adoption of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for wind design on tall structures within the last 20 years. Many tudies have been carried out on CFD with validation at the forefront of the majority of them. The tall building designs have not adequately addressed the difficulties posed by CFD and the various analytical techniques. Additionally, there are not many essential best practice standards for employing CFD for wind study of buildings that researchers and practitioners may easily follow. A thorough technical examination of the adoption of CFD on tall buildings and structures is presented in this research to achieve this goal. Detailed examination of CFD and its related design issues that are unique to tall building design, include domain and mesh configurations, inflow turbulence, and turbulence model. Additionally, a thorough literature review of CFD research on tall structures is provided, encompassing all significant subjects from intricate Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) studies to simple bluff body aerodynamics. In this study, appropriate literature are critically assessed (objectively) and contrasted with arguments in favour of it drawn from the perspective of author. This study concludes by discussing possible future numerical techniques such as the Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) and the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to tall skyscraper design.
