In this study, it is a purpose to grasp the effect of natural ventilation in the apartment house. This study targeted the apartment house of 14 floors. First, we did the wind tunnel experiment that used the reproduction model, and measured the wind pressure coefficient. Next, we did CFD analysis that used k-ε model and Durbin model. We understood utility and problem of the CFD analysis by comparing the wind tunnel experiment. Consequently, analysis in windward was similar to the experiment. However, in leeward, the error margin was large. In addition, it has been understood that Durbin model is similar to the wind tunnel experiment than standard k-ε model.
