CFD simulation for pedestrian comfort and wind safety in VIT campus for wind resource management

CFD simulation for pedestrian wind comfort and wind safety in urban areas: General decision framework and case study for the Eindhoven University campus

Wind comfort and wind safety for pedestrians are important requirements in urban areas. Many city authorities request studies of pedestrian wind comfort and wind safety for new buildings and new urban areas. These studies involve combining statistical meteorological data, aerodynamic information and criteria for wind comfort and wind safety. Detailed aerodynamic information can be obtained usin...

Pedestrian wind comfort: Feasibility study of criteria homogenisation

Simulation-Base Multi- Objective Risk Management for Optimal Wind Turbines Placement: Case of Khodabandeh City

The main purpose of this study is to provide three simulation-based risk management models for optimal placement of wind turbines in Khodabandeh city (located in the south of Zanjan province) taking into account the wake effect and uncertainty in wind speed and direction. For this purpose, wind speed and direction data were collected, then wind speed and direction uncertainty was modeled by Mon...

CFD in Wind Energy: The Virtual, Multiscale Wind Tunnel

Over the past two decades, computational fluid dynamics and particularly the finite volume method have been increasingly used to predict the performance of wind turbines within their environment. Increases in available computational power has led to the application of RANS-based models to more and more complex flow problems and permitted the use of LES-based models where previously not possible...
