Wind Flow Resource Analysis of Urban Structures, a Validation Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to have better insight into the physics of the urban wind turbines, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) flow solver has been developed for industrial applications by Uppsala University and SOLUTE Ingenieros. Urban wind resource assessment for small scale wind applications present several challenges and complexities for that are different from large-scale wind power generation. Urban boundary layer relevant in this regime of flows have different horizontal profiles impacted by the buildings, low speed wind regimes, separation and different turbulence characteristics. Preliminary measurement results will be presented for a particular site in Huesca Spain where a measurement campaign is undertaken to validate the CFD results.

Wind flow in urban environments is an important factor governing the dispersion of heat and pollutants from streets, squares and buildings. This paper presents a coupled CFD modelling approach for urban wind flow and indoor natural ventilation. A specific procedure is used to efficiently and simultaneously generate the geometry and the high-resolution body-fitted grid for both the outdoor and i...

Problem: Droughts in Zabul have cause the erosion of human habitats, especially in areas exposed to sand accumulation. Creating an optimal urban form can be a way to counteract its destructive effects.Methodology: in this paper, the research method is based on the partial air flow simulation method and the city form survey. The goal is to find the most optimal form of residential buildings to r...
متن کاملExperimental and numerical study of natural ventilation in four-sided wind tower traps
In the past, wind towers were applied as the main architectural part of building construction in the desert areas of Iran. These almost high structures were used as cooling load suppliers at residential buildings. In the present study, the effect of symmetric four-sided wind tower in flow induction to the bottom space has been analysed by using a wind tunnel and numerical simulations. In the nu...
متن کاملSimulation of Air Flow through Skylight in Historical House, Case Study: Historic House of Mosavar-al-Molki
One of the main architectural characteristics in the central area of Iran is the relation between life and climatic conditions; e.g., the four-seasonal house which is a typical kind of the central-yard house. As the climate of Isfahan is more pleasant than other desert regions in the central part of Iran, wind towers are replaced with skylights to ventilate the pool area of hoze-khane. So far, ...
