  • Abstract
    Numerical simulations were conducted to calculate wind speeds at different position for recently proposed novel tunnel with conical shape and elevation height change structure. Wind speeds were compared with those for a straight conical tunnel with no elevation height change. Different wind speeds were applied at the inlet of the tunnel which represent the measured data for Medina, Saudi Arabia. The numerical simulations showed better performance of the novel tunnel compared to straight conical structure.
