Abstract: A simulated atmospheric boundary layer flow over the Renaissance Center model was established whose characteristics compared favorably with the expected flow over the Detroit area. Flow visualization showed fluctuating separation features at certain locations on the center hotel structure and on the elevator towers of office buildings suggesting high values of pressure coefficient in those regions.
