COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS (CFD) MODELLING: DESIGNING BUILDING FOR WIND ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE

  • Unique Paper ID: 170303
  • PageNo: 14-20
  • Abstract:
  • The integration of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling into architectural design has profoundly transformed the approach to creating wind-oriented buildings. This dissertation investigates the application of CFD techniques to optimize architectural designs for enhanced wind flow management, energy efficiency, and structural integrity. By simulating wind behavior around architectural structures, designers can predict and mitigate potential issues related to wind loads, ventilation, and thermal comfort. The study explores various CFD methodologies, including turbulence modeling and boundary conditions, to accurately represent real-world wind interactions. Through detailed case studies of existing wind-oriented buildings, the research demonstrates the practical benefits and challenges of CFD implementation. The findings emphasize the significance of CFD in achieving sustainable and resilient architectural designs that harmonize with their environmental context, ultimately contributing to the advancement of eco-friendly and energy-efficient building practices.
