<Abstract>The present paper is dedicated to the numerical simulation of the aerodynamic structure of an arched roof obstacle with a height h=63 mm and a length L2=118 mm. The governing equations of mass and momentum in conjunction with the standard k-ε turbulence model are solved using the software &quot;Solid Works Flow Simulation&quot;. A finite volume discretization is used. The numerical results are validated with anterior results developed in a wind tunnel. The numerical simulations agreed reasonably with the experimental results and the numerical model was validated.</Abstract>
