Аннотация:A hydrodynamic model for calculating the pressure jump on the leeward slope of a roof during a
horizontal air flow that is directed to its slope is proposed for the first time. The model takes the formation of
vortices in a viscous layer of an air flow that decelerates in the flow direction into account. When a vortex
departs from the viscous layer, flow acceleration occurs at the underlying surface, leading to a considerable
pressure drop and to tearing the roof off. It is shown that the negative pressure jump at a site that is adjacent
to the roof ridge can be decelerated by several percent with a decreased friction factor and an increased length
of the portion of the roof where air flows without separation. A method for considerably reducing the pressure
drop is proposed for the first time, viz., the installation of expanding air ducts on the roof, within which a
compensatory pressure jump occurs. The results are verified by laboratory studies.
