Abstract

This paper first provides a wide overview about the design codes and standards covering the use of Computational Wind Engineering / Computational Fluid Dynamics (CWE/CFD) for wind-sensitive structures and built environment. Second, the paper sets out the basic assumptions and underlying concepts of the new Annex T “Simulations by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD/CWE)” of the revised version “Guide for the assessment of wind actions and effects on structures” issued by the Advisory Committee on Technical Recommendations for Constructions of the Italian National Research Council in February 2019 and drafted by the members of the Special Interest Group on Computational Wind Engineering of the Italian Association for Wind Engineering (ANIV-CWE). The same group is currently advising UNI CT021/SC1 in supporting the drafting of the new Annex K – “Derivation of design parameters from wind tunnel tests and numerical simulations” of the revised Eurocode 1: Actions on structures – Part 1-4: General actions – Wind actions. Finally, the paper outlines the subjects most open to development at the technical and applicative level.
