Optimize urban and building designs for wind comfort and natural ventilation using cloud-based CFD simulation.
Wind comfort and thermal comfort in public spaces and private spaces are essential factors in ensuring good and safe living conditions. In urban microclimates, wind engineering is at the core of the design cycles of buildings.
With complex urban areas and modern architectural designs, high-performance analysis tools are in need to efficiently and accurately predict pedestrian-level wind comfort and thermal comfort in buildings through natural ventilation.
Using SimScale’s cloud-based CFD simulation, you can:
SimScale enables fast and accurate wind simulations based on industry standards, such as Lawson, Davenport, and NEN 8100, to predict the behavior of wind flow around buildings early in the process.
Make informed design decisions with a wind modelling assessment that includes:
SimScale enables engineers to analyze the performance of a natural or passive ventilation system early in the design cycle without the high cost of hardware and the undesirably steep learning curves of traditional, on-premises tools.
Make informed design decisions even in specific scenarios:
Customer Success
In this analysis, Zaha Hadid Architects ran a wind analysis study of the headquarters building design for their client Oppo. Using SimScale’s CFD simulations, they ran parallel simulations in 6 wind directions to evaluate the frequency and intensity of the annual wind profile. They managed to achieve fast and accurate results in less than 2 hours.
