ABSTRACT

Wind environment and architectural shape share a close relationship. During the formation of building shape, it is rather necessary to optimize it with analysis on wind environment. Based on STAR CCM + software platform, and with a project in Taiyuan as example, this article focuses on how to optimize architectural shape based on wind environment step by step. From an information point of view, this article aims to fill the blank in architectural design caused by deficiency of environmental consideration in 'subjective modeling'.
