Wind Engineering
Wind tunnel testing simulation and computational dynamics (CFD) analysis to model the airflow around a building and analyse the impact of wind on the building, providing insights into building design optimisation for wind loads and structural response evaluation, taking into account factors such as wind direction, building height, and nearby structures. This is important during the design phase to optimise the building for safety, efficiency and sustainability through the recommendation of site-specific materials.
Pedestrian comfort analysis to assess the impact of wind on pedestrian comfort in and around the building. This can include analysing wind speeds and direction at pedestrian level, as well as developing wind comfort criteria to ensure the safety and comfort of outdoor areas in various weather conditions. Gain valuable insight into the best use of space by analysing local conditions.
Urban microclimate analysis to evaluate the impact of wind on pollutant dispersion and air quality in the area. This can include assessing wind patterns, pollutant concentrations, and dispersion patterns, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of various mitigation strategies. Urban microclimate analysis plays an important role in the creation of healthier, more livable and sustainable cities by improving the local climate for the comfort and safety of its residents.
