Abstract

There are increasing concern regarding development of tall structures. For that wind is important factor in development of these structure. In this paper numerical analysis of wind has been carried out on pyramid type structure using CFD analysis. Here Transamerica Pyramid is analyzed to execute the study. In this paper preliminary examination of wind pressure coefficient on structure and velocity contours at different heights of structure are found out using code fluent. To execute study Autocad 2013 and ANSYS Fluent 2015 has been used.
