TPU Building - Corner Cut#
1. Project Description#
The objective of this project is to reproduce the wind pressure properties over the Tokyo Polytechnic University (TPU) Building - Corner Cut, as measured in wind tunnel by [1]. The building is at resolution level “lvl5” of the digital wind tunnel. One convective time scale is defined as \(CTS = B / U_H\).

Note
General comments:
Experimental samples of the same size (\(T / CTS\)) of the numerical samples have been selected for comparison.
The peak pressure coefficients have been evaluated over moving averages of the original signals, with window size described in the plot legends.
