Pedestrian wind comfort, or simply ground-level wind comfort, is a metric used to determine an acceptable level of airflow velocity around built structures for ground-level passersby. These types of wind simulation take into consideration meteorological data, aerodynamics, and comfort criteria. The data regarding the latter two is provided by physical experimentation combined with numerical simulation with computational fluid dynamics (CFD).<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Typical Wind Comfort Assessment Considerations <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By evaluating pedestrian wind comfort with CFD per industry standards such as Lawson, Davenport, and NEN 8100<\/a>, urban master planners, civil engineers, and architects can predict the behavior of wind flow around buildings early, and benefit from an iterative design process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
