Wind simulation

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Im trying to do a wind simulation on the attached louvre frame. The louvre frame sits directly in front of the facade on the building Gap = 100mm max.

I am unsure how to do this. I have attached the wind data I have for the site.

1st I was going to model louvre frame only

Do I just at the figure highlighted in yellow?

Will it take account the gap between the blades. The ratio of openings is approx 50%

The blades are at an angle of 45deg. Will it take account of the angle of blades therefore creating the downward force and horizontal.

Do I need to include a Cp - pressure coefficient?

We have done a wind test on the louvre frame to a wind load = 1770 Pa.

2nd I was going to add facade behind to see the effect on the louvre frame how long should I make this?

I know alot of questions but Im keen to see if this will help for us.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
