Roof Wind Effects

Roof Wind Effects is a structural aerodynamics phenomenon characterized by the complex pressure distributions and aerodynamic forces induced on roof surfaces due to wind flow interactions, distinguishing it from other building envelope wind effects by its focus on roof-specific flow separation, vortex formation, and suction mechanisms.
