With the complexity of modern urban areas, pedestrian wind environment simulations become a critical factor in urban design, helping to ensure the overall well-being, safety and comfort in pedestrian zones. Predicting and properly assessing the airflow around a building is a difficult and expensive process when using the experimental approach. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques are a practical, cost-efficient, and time-efficient alternative to the field measurements or wind tunnel tests.
Finding the optimal location, number, and configuration of the exhaust fans required for ensuring a proper ventilation, while meeting the tenability requirements of CO exposure limit set by health and safety regulations, can be a challenging task. With SimScale, you can create a smart ventilation strategy, ensure the efficient removal of high contaminant concentrations in cleanrooms or labs, predict smoke propagation and temperature distribution in underground garages, car parks, subway stations or shopping centers.
There are multiple factors to take into account when deciding how a commercial building should be ventilated, such as the building’s position, wind exposure, entrance locations, and more. To reduce energy consumption, finding a creative idea for ventilation without using any mechanical systems can be very beneficial, from both the ecological and economical perpesctives. SimScale provides you with a sophisticated tool to optimize natural ventilation systems and understand the behavior of your design before creating any physical prototypes.
Thermal comfort in public and commercial spaces such as stadiums, theaters, schools, shopping centers, car parks or in private spaces like houses, apartment buildings or garages is an essential factor in ensuring good living conditions. SimScale offers a full simulation package to help you visualize airflow and heat transfer, test different air supply outlets and inlets, evaluate temperature gradients, air distribution or velocity plots to ensure thermal comfort for occupants in working and living environments.
