    driven rain simulation, steady-state simulation technique

    The simulation technique developed by Choi (1991, 1993, 1994a) comprises the following four steps: (1) calculating the steady-state wind flow pattern around the building using a CFD code, (2) obtaining raindrop trajectories in the flow pattern, (3) determining the specific catch ratio from the configuration of the raindrop trajectories, and (4) calculating the catch ratio based on the specific catch ratio and the raindrop spectrum. This procedure yields the driving rain amount at a certain building envelope position under steady-state conditions of wind and rain.
