Description
Summary:碩士 === 淡江大學 === 水資源及環境工程學系 === 86 === In order to investigate environmental wind field problem caused byhigh-rise buildings,a series of wind tunnel experiments were carried out on asmall scale model of the Taipei metropolitan area . Data of wind velocity and wind direction during five different situations -daytime , nighttime , the wholeday , summer , and winter, and seven acceptable criteria for comfortabilitywere used . Based on these , we tried to estimate the comfort criteria prior toand after construction. According to experimental results , the comfort criteria varies as different meteorological data is used . It is most appropriate to use wind velocity and direction data of the whole day when setting the criteria for the average street . But in special areas , the proper data depend on the time ofuse.there is an obvious change in the environmental wind field after theconstruction of high-rise buildings . In general , the pedestrian - level meanand fluctuating wind velocities increase , with only a few exceptions where they decrease . The increase in wind velocity results from the channel effect caused by the decrease in space which is taken up by the building . On the other hand , the building may shield certain areas from the wind , thus resulting in a decrease in wind velocity . The comfort criteria obtained from the mean wind velocity data and that obtained from the fluctuating wind velocity data vary . This indicates that the wind velocity in an area may be low but filled with strong fluctuations. Therefore , when evaluating the comfort criteria of an area , the appropriate wind velocity and direction data should be used and both the mean and fluctuating wind velocites should be considered.
