Abstract

In this paper, the effect of size on the wind pressure coefficient on the surface of solar greenhouses is investigated using numerical simulations. The models were designed with consistent ratios of ridge height to span and north wall height to ridge height across different spans. To effectively understand the impact of dimensions on wind pressure distribution, two wind directions—0° (north wind) and 180° (south wind)—which have previously been shown to impose significant overall wind loads on solar greenhouses, are focused on. It was found that the wind load per unit area increases continuously with greenhouse size. Wind-induced suction is particularly concentrated along the ridge, with greater suction on the leeward side compared to the windward side. The wind suction near the ridge is more significantly affected by greenhouse size. This study provides valuable insights for the practical engineering design of solar greenhouses.
