This paper is the second stage of a scientific investigation that presented a review of mitigation strategies in coastal areas. In order to evaluate parameters of interest for the design of low-rise buildings, such as pressure coefficients, Cp, and wind behavior around the structure, 36 configurations based on a Central Composite Design (CCD) were simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with a RNG 𝒌−Ɛ turbulence model. The results in terms of wind velocity and behavior, as well as turbulence kinetic energy, were validated with respect to the existing literature, obtaining similar and acceptable contours, streamlines and vectors. These results showed that the negative values of Cp and velocity are more important, i.e., the suction effects have a greater impact on the building than the overpressure effects. By elevating the structure, the wind behavior around it causes vorticity, which in turn leads to negative pressures, especially on the roofs, lower floor and downstream walls. The results obtained should allow: (1) to generate a predictive model based on the Cp coefficients using the Response Surface Methodology (SRM) and (2) to propose mitigation strategies against hurricane winds.< Leer menos
