This paper reports on the calibration of a commercial computational fluid dynamics program, CFD-ACE, using real measurements. The main purpose of the calibration was to develop an understanding of the modelling capabilities of CFD-ACE and its applicability to complex situations. A real building, the Texas Tech Experimental Building, was used as a case study. The calibration involved eight different scenarios, comprising combinations of two and three-dimensional modeling, standard k-ε and RNG k-ε turbulence models, and uniform or atmospheric boundary layer flows. The results compare pressure coefficient (Cp) data from the fullscale building, wind tunnel experimental results and computational fluid dynamics simulations. A general evaluation of the results found that there was no single ideal combination that can perfectly simulate the real phenomenon; the CFD-ACE program producing different results for each case. However, the combination of 3D modeling with a standard k-ε turbulence model and an atmospheric boundary layer appeared to give the best results. Comparison with the field data showed that the CFD-ACE program could reproduce the real conditions quite well. The deviation from the field data was much smaller than the reference CFD experiment and wind tunnel experimental results. The CFD-ACE program performed well as a tool for studying the wind flow around the Texas Tech Experimental Building.
