Abstract: Typhoon is a frequent natural disaster attacking rubber plantations in Hainan,China. In order to understand the relationship between tree height and wind damages to rubber trees three softwares,GAMBIT,ANSYS( FLUENT) and CFD-POST,were used to simulate and analyze the varying relationships between wind velocity and wind pressure with the rubber tree height as a basis. The result showed that the rubber tree was positively correlated with wind velocity and wind pressure. For each 3 m increase in tree height the wind velocity and the wind pressure increased by 7. 7% and 15. 8%.
