This study is performance estimation of wind augmentation device for BiWP(Building-integrated Wind Power) which recently attracts attention as a local power. various structures are installed on a rooftop of residential complex buildings. Changing a profile of these, we designed a configuration that is able to capture much air and increase exit velocity. To estimate wind augmented effect of this device, we compared numerical analysis results with wind tunnel test results. Results show that exit velocity is increased from 24% to 60% by wind augmented device on a rooftop of building.
