Abstract
Despite the establishment of CFD as a tool for calculating the amount of wind-driven rain (WDR) falling onto building facades, very few efforts have been made towards the validation of CFD for this purpose. This paper presents part of a detailed CFD validation study that was conducted, supported by a new high-resolution experimental wind, rain and WDR database for a low-rise building. It will be shown that numerical simulation, if conducted with care, can provide quite accurate predictions of the amount of WDR impinging on the building facade.
