RESEARCH ON WIND PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION OF PLASTIC GREENHOUSES IN VALLEY TOPOGRAPHY
<div><p>ABSTRACT As the wind pressure distribution on plastic greenhouses in valley areas is different from that of greenhouses on plains, it is necessary to find out the variation trend of the wind pressure coefficient on greenhouses in the valley areas. Based on the ‘Realizable k-e turbulence’ model, the wind pressure characteristics on plastic greenhouses located in valley and plain areas are studied by using the verified numerical simulation method. The wind pressures on greenhouses and the corresponding fitting formula are obtained for different distances between the greenhouse and the foot of the mountain with a 0-degree wind angle. The results show that, with an increase of distance to the mountain, the positive wind pressure on the windward side of a plastic greenhouse increases and the negative wind pressure on the leeward side, roof surface and crosswind sides of the greenhouse decreases. The results from the proposed formulae are very close to those derived from the numerical simulation method, and the relative errors are all within 10%. The influence of canyon wind on the wind pressure distribution on plastic greenhouses should be considered in the design. This research can provide a reference for the wind resistance design of plastic greenhouses built in valley areas.</p></div>
