COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS

Strong winds around a high-rise building are very harmful for human or commercial activity near the building. Before construction of a new building in an urban area, contractors predict the flowfield around the new building and determine suitable countermeasures which decrease wind speed around the building. This shot is a scene from a moving picture used in this analyzing stage. The flowfield such as the velocity vectors and contour of absolute values of velocity around the centered high-rise building were calculated by means of CFD based on a k-e two equation turbulence model and visualized by using postprocessing program Floweyes.

Hardware used: Irid 420 VGX

Software used: Calculation - KAZF (original one) post pkg. Floweyes (Solidray Corp. Yokahama, Japan)
