CFD-Based Methods for Thermal and Wind-Responsive Architecture
This course provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of angled facades on building thermal efficiency and wind resistance. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, students explore how varied facade angles influence air flow, energy conservation, and structural integrity in high-rise buildings. The course focuses on practical methods for positioning facade panels to improve wind flow management, minimize temperature fluctuations, and enhance occupant comfort. Through studies on drag reduction, heat transfer, and airflow optimization, learners gain essential knowledge on designing facade systems that address both thermal and aerodynamic challenges.
