Mean pressure coefficient distributions over hyperbolic paraboloid roof and canopy structures with different shape parameters in a uniform flow with very small turbulence

•The aerodynamics of hyperbolic paraboloids with high and low corners are studied.•Numerical CFD simulations are validated by experimental wind tunnel testing.•Cp-distributions are drafted for hyperbolic paraboloid roofs and canopies.•Three important wind orientations are identified.•The influence of the surface curvature on the Cp-distribution is evaluated.
