The computational fluid dynamics software ANSYS Fluent
based on the Standard -ε turbulence model
is employed to investigate the distribution of surface wind pressure and the aerodynamic shape coefficients of photovoltaic (PV) arrays under varying wind incidence and installation angles. The results illustrate that the front-row PV modules are highly sensitive to angle variations. The downward vertical pressure loads are significantly increased with the installation tilt angle. Due to the shielding effect of the front row
low surface pressure fluctuations are observed on the downstream modules. Flow-field stabilization characteristics are exhibited in the third and fourth rows. The suction effect on the lower surface of the array is dominated by low pressure induced by the flow around the array
and an overall increase in suction coefficient appears with increasing wind incidence angle. Nevertheless
owing to the effects of flow separation and reattachment
a stagewise reduction in local suction is identified in the second and third rows
forming a three-stage distribution pattern characterized as ‘front-row dominant
