Table 1 : The domain size , building model size , and mesh number .
The energy equation was excluded from the analysis due to limited input for temperature parameters , and no assumption fits such boundary conditions . During processing , the solver was set at 1,000 iterations . Two cases are presented ,
as indicated in Figure 4 . This simulation and analysis were reported as : a . Case 1 – Wind acted 90 0 ( perpendicular ) from the building wall b . Case 2 – Wind acted 45 0 ( edge ) from the building wall

Simulation Output Case 1 : Wind acted 90 0 ( perpendicular ) from the building wall
Wind velocity vector and contour vertically across the entire building ( Z-Y plane )

Wind velocity contour vertically across the entire building ( X-Y plane )
The wind profile from the above figure shows the initial wind direction passing through open space at the Ground Floor level ( from left to right ). In the following flow stage , the wind travelled upwards through the void that was located at the centre of the building .
