Investigating the Effect of Snow Barrier Railings on Snow Accumulation Patterns on Gable Roofs

Abstract

Abstract In this study, an analysis of wind-induced snow accumulation on a gable roof fitted with snow barrier railings is conducted using a one-way coupling method for wind and snow, alongside the k − kl − ω turbulence model. User-defined functions in ... Practical Applications In some cold and snowy places, gable roofs are threatened by snow. This study investigated the installation of snow barrier railings on gable roofs and found that this method had many advantages. Snow barrier railings can ...
