Abstract: This work presents a numerical study on the wind aerodynamics of a low-rise industrial building with a stepped roof. Industrial buildings are particularly vulnerable to wind-induced damage due to their large spans. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), a steady RANS model is employed, which was previously validated against a benchmark study. The methodology is applied to a realistic, scaled case to analyze phenomena such as velocity fields, pressure coefficients, and recirculation. The results confirm that RANS is an efficient and accurate method for preliminary design phases and wind load assessment.
