Pedestrian Wind Comfort

Used to demonstrate : 
- STL with layers workflow
- Detailed geometry handling (stadium)
- Additional results export:  3D volume data and surface pressures
- Simplified trees modeling (forest)
- Difference between 4 and 8 wind directions

For this project, we simulated two different scenarios, one using a model without the integration of trees around the park and near the building, and the second including the effect of these trees. The purpose of this was to find out if planting trees around urban high-rise buildings can be an effective strategy to mitigate the undesirable effects of airflow, leading to wind discomfort at the pedestrian level.

Example of porous media used to model trees in a city park area, comparing between with and without trees.

The objective of this simulation is to demonstrate how to prepare a geometry with extreme terrain (mountainous area) and then simulate it in the PWC analysis type.

This project aims at assessing the pedestrian safety, comfort, and environmental impact of residential zones located in the district of Stockholm Royal Seaport.
