CFD studies use numerical modeling to simulate wind flow and microclimate conditions around buildings and urban environments. The analysis evaluates how building geometry, site context, and local climate influence wind behavior, comfort, safety, and environmental performance at and around the site.
When CFD Wind Studies Are Required
CFD studies use numerical modeling to simulate wind flow and microclimate conditions around buildings and urban environments. The analysis evaluates how building geometry, site context, and local climate influence wind behavior, comfort, safety, and environmental performance at and around the site.
Our CFD studies apply validated numerical modeling techniques to simulate wind flow and microclimate conditions under representative wind scenarios. Model setup, resolution, and boundary conditions are selected based on project objectives and site complexity.
Our assessment may include:
Development of three-dimensional CFD models
Simulation of multiple wind directions and conditions
Evaluation of pedestrian comfort conditions
Assessment of localized wind acceleration, sheltering, and channeling
Testing of design modifications or mitigation measures, where required
Deliverables
CFD studies provide clear technical outputs to support design evaluation and decision-making.
Deliverables may include:
Wind speed, comfort, and safety contour plots
Visualization of wind flow patterns and localized effects
Identification of areas of concern or exceedance
Mitigation recommendations, where applicable
Technical documentation suitable for project teams and municipal review
