Abstract

Mean surface pressures and overall wind loads on hemispherical domes immersed in a boundary layer were obtained by numerical simulation. The effects of alternative turbulence models, Reynolds Number and surface roughness were examined and compared with earlier studies. Surface pressures on dual hemispherical domes were also calculated for three wind orientations ($0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, and $90^{\circ}$) to evaluate flow field interactions. Calculated values were compared to wind-tunnel measurements made in equivalent flow conditions.
