Numerical Simulation and Machine Learning-Based Analysis of Aerodynamic Characteristics in High-Rise Composite Plan-Shaped Buildings
摘要
The comprehensive investigation into the aerodynamic behaviour of high-rise composite plan-shaped buildings uses a hybrid approach that combines Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with machine learning techniques.
PurposeThe study focuses on analyzing complex wind flow interactions, pressure distributions, and structural responses under varying wind incidence angles ranging from 0° to 90° at 15° intervals.
MethodsFour building models with different upper-section geometries—square, circular, hexagonal, and octagonal—are designed and evaluated. Simulations are conducted using the ANSYS CFX solver with a 5% turbulence intensity and the k–𝜀 turbulence model to capture steady-state wind dynamics. The study also assesses structural symmetry and identifies regions prone to vortex shedding and aerodynamic instabilities.
ResultTo enhance prediction efficiency, a supervised machine learning model is trained on simulation data to forecast pressure coefficients and streamline patterns, significantly reducing computational costs without compromising accuracy. The integration of CFD with machine learning enables a deeper understanding of aerodynamic performance across diverse geometrical configurations.
ConclusionThe findings provide practical guidance for architects and structural engineers in designing aerodynamically efficient and sustainable high-rise structures. This research advances smart urban planning, energy efficiency, and structural safety in high-rise building design, addressing key challenges in modern architecture and engineering.
