Dit is een project voor school, challenge natuur.

The purpose of this test case is to validate the mean surface pressure on a building with balconies, using the Lattice Boltzmann model for three wind directions.

Asses the external and internal fluid flow for a department store building.
Using the incompressible  steady state analysis to determine natural convection flow through the building and improve the ventilation through simple design changes.

This project involves meshing externally a platform of some modern design buildings, and then visualizing the behavior of the air that flows through it by simulating it, which is  a common practice nowadays, performed in urban developing, architectural design, environmental planning applications and many more. For the meshing of the maquette configuration of buildings that form this urban landscape, the Hex-dominant parametric (only CFD) and 16 processors were used. A steady state incompressible flow simulation, using the k-omega Spalart Allmaras turbulence model,  is executed, in order to visualize the air flow  as well as the critical areas of the re-circulation. Results from the simulation, as well as flow visualization techniques are also provided from the SimScale and Paraview platforms.

Pedestrian Wind Comfort Analysis for assessing the wind speeds in areas meant for recreational use.

Often in the cities we can spot company name signs standing on the rooftops of buildings. In this simulation I study the wind load acting on a sign of a certain company set on a roof of a building.
An often overlooked issue remains to be investigated: what is the force acting on a sign and what kind of mounting is required to fix said sign on the rooftop. Support structures are usually prepared before the installation and once in place might pose danger, supposed that they are not suited for strong wind load conditions. A numerical simulation prepared during design phase can ensure that the structure and the sing will hold.
