modelling the Atmospheric Boundary Layer - Stand Alone version

[mrdonn]

Hi

I have used a wind tunnel for many years. I work in a city where every building over 4 storeys must be wind tunnel tested. Crucial to believability of the wind tunnel model results is the model of the wind created by the wind tunnel.

I was delighted therefore to read in the help files for the Revit version there is a possibility at least of sketching the shape of the speed vs height above ground relationship for this model. There does not seem to be the same result in the stand alone version?

The flow distribution in the stand alone version is uniform for 2D flows - so therefore does not represent what really happens. It is non-uniform in some manner for the 3D model. What i do not understand is that even with very simple block models, the wind flows from wind tunnel tests are not replicated by Flow Design? The simplest downdraft flow off a 10-20 storey stand alone tower is a perfect example of this issue.

Hi,

I think we should give some time to Flow Design Team, they are working excellently & I hope Flow design will be equipped with what needs to be there.
Right now we can only post our ideas, requests so that those will be fulfilled in coming future.
Fingers crossed!

Regards,

Great suggestion! I would ask that you add that to the idea station.   This way we can see how much interest there is more each suggestion.
