Abstract
Using Ansys Fluid Flow software, a numerical investigation was to study the wind distribution around logistic sheds with a bridge vent. Then, were considered several wind directions - direct approaching, oblique, oblique opposing, lateral, and opposing - and neighborhood conditions. The Shear Stress Transport turbulence model and rectangular mesh were employed. The application validation of the CFD technique occurred in the logistic shed without a bridge vent, and the results showed good concordance with the literature. Results analyzed areas characterized by suction and overpressure, as well as the attachment points and the recirculation zones in the flow visualization.
