For the urban designer, the knowledge of urban climatology and particularly that of wind flow around buildings is crucial in many applications, such as wind comfort in outdoor spaces and opened indoor spaces exposed to the wind. Wind flow dedicated CFD software provides an environment to understand and interpret the wind in any urban space. Wind mappings are useful to urban designers in order to optimize the site plan by positioning and orientating buildings to improve the pedestrian wind...
