WIND IN THE URBAN CANVAS – 3D BUILDING IMPACTS EXPLORED
Exciting News! Just published my latest research on “Investigating the Influence of 3D Building Models on Pedestrian Wind Comfort through Wind Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis”!
Curious about how the shape and detailing of buildings impact wind flow patterns and velocity, influencing pedestrian comfort? This study dives deep into the realm of Wind Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to unravel the secrets of wind behavior around 3D urbanized building models.
The findings? Diverse effects due to different building detailing, leading to multiple flow patterns and changes in wind velocity. The downstream building recorded lower velocity, thanks to wind flow separation from the building frontal. Wind comfort levels? All in the good range, falling within Beaufort wind force scale levels 2 and 3.
This research underscores the crucial role of building models in shaping wind flow patterns and velocity, ultimately impacting Pedestrian Wind Comfort. Despite varied building shapes and detailing, the wind comfort levels were suitable for pedestrians.
