Large eddy simulations of wind loads on an external floating-roof tank

Wind load of an external floating-roof tank is analyzed using large eddy simulation (LES). First, the governing equations and a LES solution procedure employing FLUENT software are presented. Subsequently, using two benchmark tank models, the accuracy of LES is examined and the advantages of LES ove...
