Building Aerodynamics



Preface

This book is written specifically for the practicing Architect and Engineer. The various interactions of the wind with buildings are considered in their separate Chapters, each of which has an Introduction in which the interaction is explained in general terms. Detailed data are presented in the rest of each chapter explaining the extent of quantifiable information which can be made available by the Wind Engineer to the Design Team so that the best compromise between the requirements of wind and all the other competing considerations can be made. Typical Tables and Figures from real situations are presented as illustrations of all measurements and calculations. Theory has been kept to a minimum, and is only presented when, in the author's opinion, the analysis is not well known or is central to the argument.
