Virtual Atmospheric Boundary Wind Tunnel Testing

 

Wind Environment Evaluation Test for Architecture Design and Planning

 Feasible testing for:
  1.  Wind Environment Testing; to estimate wind comfort/un-comfort level, pedestrian wind safety level and vehicle safety in building canyon induced cross wind;
  2.  Optimization of massing, shape, dimension, placement and orientation of new development buildings
  3.  Air pollutant dispersion and air quality control; determine best release pattern, velocity, height and location. Determine appropriate location of air intake to avoid re-ingestion of exhausted air. Compliant with regulations related.
  4.  Thermal comfort and natural ventilation + mechanical ventilation for open spaces, such as aircraft hanger, stadium etc.
  5.  Wind induced pressure distribution to discover high wind load spots that may subject to potential wind damage. Such as where operable doors and windows may experience difficulty of operation or damage due to wind for property management purposes
