Abstract
The modeling of pressure generated by unilateral wind loads in CFD simulations has been a subject widely covered in the automobile, aeromechanics and civil scope regarding the structures of automobiles, elevated buildings and pressure load in airplanes. However, there are fields not well covered, as an example, the mining field, which has large equipments driven by wind loads and can suffer from damage, sudden stop and loss of production. The objective of this work is the analysis of the wind load that crosses the structure of a bucket wheel reclaimer positioned in a harbor by the development of a numerical model of the flow in a critical speed load. The model was developed using the Ansys-Fluent software considering the conditions of permanent regime, wind velocity of 30,6 m/s, Mach 0,09 equivalent, constant density and segregated flow with Reynolds 195.556.
