Wind Catcher (Badghir) Wind Flow Analysis

Using SimScale
1

Hi everyone,

I want to analyze wind flow in different wind catcher (wind tower) models (from Rhino) to see which one brings more air inside the building and contributes to cooling off of the interior air.

I have created the Rhino file and watched Milad Mafi’s demo here (Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulation for Rhino Users - YouTube) but honestly I do not know how to proceed from here on!

I appreciate if you could guide me with this regard.

Best

Hi, this is Fillia :smiley:
So you want to simulate the airflow around buildings, that also have openings so the air comes in, right?
Could you also add the link to your project, please?
Best regards,
Fillia
