Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an assessment method for enhancing the wind resistance reserve of roof structures using a flow control device, belonging to the field of roof wind resistance technology. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of infrastructure construction and the widespread application of new high-strength lightweight materials, low-rise, large-span buildings are increasingly becoming lighter. The roof structures of low-rise, large-span buildings are typical wind-sensitive structures, and wind load is one of the important factors affecting their structural safety. In recent years, the safety and stability of roof structures under strong wind loads have become increasingly prominent issues. Especially under extreme weather conditions such as typhoons, wind-induced vibration and wind-induced damage to roof structures can lead to serious economic losses and casualties. Therefore, improving the wind resistance of lightweight steel roof structures and reducing the wind hazards of roof structures has become an important research direction in the field of wind engineering.
[0003] Currently, there are two main types of measures commonly used to improve the wind resistance of roof structures: structural measures and flow control measures. Structural measures improve the overall stiffness and mass of the structure by using efficient materials or structural systems, and increasing the cross-section of components. Flow control measures improve the airflow characteristics of the building structure by altering the structural shape, using additional aerodynamic devices, or actively interfering with the local flow field using external energy, thereby reducing the impact of wind loads on the structure and improving its wind resistance. Among these, using additional aerodynamic devices to change the roof flow field and reduce the wind-induced effects on the structure, thus reducing roof wind pressure and improving the structure's wind resistance, is a relatively proactive wind-resistant measure that avoids limitations imposed by building form and function. This method is simple in structure, has a clear control mechanism, lower economic cost, higher efficiency, and wider applicability. How to quantitatively evaluate the effect of flow control methods on improving the wind resistance of structures is a very important issue. Summary of the Invention

[0050] ,
[0051] in: This represents the maximum value of the external wind pressure coefficient; This is the internal pressure coefficient (when the external surface wind pressure is positive, the internal pressure coefficient is -0.3; when the external surface wind pressure is negative, the internal pressure coefficient is +0.2). This is the wind pressure height coefficient at the average height of the roof. This is the basic wind pressure;
[0052] Step S2, based on the standard value of wind load in step S1 The calculation formula is used to determine the basic wind pressure. Standard value of wind load The correspondence is shown in the following formula:

The installation spacing of the vortex generator is 90° between the two blades; for example... Figure 2 As shown, the building model has a length L=13.7m, a width B=9.1m, and a height H=4m.
[0064] Step S42: Based on the pre-selected parameters of the building model, establish the initial building model and the model after applying the control method, and select parameters such as wind direction angle, wind speed, and roughness for numerical simulation calculation; such as... Figure 4 The diagram shown illustrates the wind pressure on the roof before and after applying flow control measures. This represents the maximum value of the external wind pressure coefficient. This represents the maximum value of the external wind pressure coefficient after applying flow control.
[0065] Step S43: Determine the specific operating conditions, including wind direction angle, wind speed at a height of 10m, and ground roughness. For example, the wind direction angle is set to 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°, the wind speed at a height of 10m is selected as 25m / s, and the ground roughness is selected as 0.15.
[0066] Step S44: Determine the location and number of wind pressure monitoring points. Set up monitoring points at suitable locations on the top surface of the model to extract the calculated wind pressure data.

The distance between the centers of adjacent monitoring points in the first row to the seventh row is 500mm. The distance between the centers of adjacent monitoring points in the seventh row and the eleventh row is 750mm. The distance between the centers of adjacent monitoring points in the eleventh row and the seventeenth row is 500mm. The distance between the center of the first column of wind pressure monitoring points and the left edge of the top surface is 196mm. The distance between the centers of adjacent monitoring points in the first column and the eighth column is 500mm. The distance between the centers of adjacent monitoring points in the eighth column and the sixteenth column is 800mm. The distance between the centers of adjacent monitoring points in the sixteenth column and the twenty-third column is 500mm.
[0067] Step S45: Establish a model based on the selected parameters, choose an appropriate computational domain size, and mesh the simulation model, such as... Figure 6 As shown;
[0068] Step S46: Set the solution conditions, including: the model used for calculation, the solution method, and the time step;

The wind pressure coefficient conversion formula is:
[0070] ,
[0071] in, The wind pressure coefficient at the measuring point; Pressure at points on the building surface; Static pressure at a reference height; The density of the incoming airflow; The average wind speed over buildings;
[0072] Step S48: Assuming the load-bearing capacity of the building model's top surface remains constant, determine the wind pressure that the building model's top surface can withstand after applying flow control. for:

[0075] Step S49, corresponding incoming air velocity for:
[0076] ;
[0077] Step S5: Substitute the maximum and minimum wind pressure coefficients before and after applying flow control into the expression for the wind resistance reserve factor to obtain the wind resistance reserve factor of the roof after implementing flow control. The wind resistance reserve factor value is 37.21% at a wind direction angle of 0°; 31.48% at a wind direction angle of 30°; 16.57% at a wind direction angle of 45°; 53.24% at a wind direction angle of 60°; and 41.5% at a wind direction angle of 90°. Figure 7 The figure shown is a distribution diagram of the wind resistance reserve factor calculation results at monitoring points after applying flow control under different wind direction angles in this invention.
[0078] The wind resistance reserve factor reflects the proportion of the increase in incoming wind speed that a building's roof structure can withstand relative to the incoming wind speed under load standard. The larger the value, the better the flow control effect and the greater the improvement in the structure's wind resistance.
