Based on the common forms of window opening in board hotels, PHOENICS software and CFD technology were used to simulate a variety of indoor wind environment. The open area, height of window sill, window form, position and shape of the window were varied for the simulation. The freshness of the air, relative to the appropriate wind speed, and the number of ventilation in the bathroom were adopted to evaluate the strategy analysis of the ventilation from different forms of windows. Suggestion strategy was given according to different needs for specific window.

This study explored the ventilation conditions of community atriums for selected housing prototypes in Tainan City, Taiwan. Employing field surveys and CFD simulations, the atrium ventilation of the selected housing building layouts were studied and compared. Through the CFD simulation using the common wind direction in the autumn of the study region, this study found that among the four community building layouts selected, the atrium space of the double-side opening townhouse building layout has the best outdoor ventilation. In addition, the study also revealed that when the arrangement of the building layout and the openings of the atrium are coordinated with the local wind environment, the outdoor ventilation will be significantly improved. Finally, this paper provides suggestions for building layouts and the design of community open space in order to enhances the ventilation of community atrium and its user comfort.

In July–August of three different years common surface-floating bottles were set adrift at International Station E2 (49° 27' N.—4° 42' W.). With them, various types of drag-fitted bottles were also put out. The journeys accomplished are discussed, and the striking differences as between year and year in the case of the common surface floaters, and as between the different types in the same year, are commented upon in the light of the prevailing winds. An inter-relationship of great simplicity is deduced between wind speed and the rate of travel of simple surface floating bottles up-Channel and across the North Sea from the results of experiments carried out in four different summers.

The power generated in wind turbine depends on wind speed and parameters of blade geometry like aerofoil shape, blade radius, chord length, pitch angle, solidity, etc. Aerofoil selection is the crucial factor in establishing the efficient wind turbine. More than one aerofoil in a blade can increase the efficiency further. Previous studies of different aerofoils have shown that efficiency of small scale wind turbine increases when NREL S822 aerofoil is used for wind speed on and above 10 m/s. This paper introduces a study on effect of low wind speed (V = 5 m/s) on performance of blade profile. Aerofoils NREL S822/S823 are used for microwind turbine with S823 near root and S822 near tip. Blade of 3 m radius with spherical tubercles over entire span is analyzed considering 5 deg angle of attack. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was carried out using ANSYS fluent to study the behavior of blade profile at various contours. The study shows that blade experiences maximum turbulence and minimum pressure near trailing edge of the tip of blade. The region also experiences maximum velocity of the flow. These factors result in pushing the aerofoil in upward direction for starting the wind turbine to rotate at the speed as low as 5 m/s.

This chapter examines the hydrographic work of the U.S. Naval Observatory and Hydrographical Office under the leadership of Lieutenant Matthew Fontaine Maury, 1842-1861, a tenure in which Maury brought the Navy to the forefront of antebellum American applied and theoretical science and embarked upon revolutionary new cartographic conventions in his Wind and Current Charts series. Maury pushed and considerably expanded the boundaries of the hydrographic chart to include wind speed, ocean temperature, ship tracks, and whales, among other things, creating a partnership with American and foreign mariners to collect and systematize data about the marine environment thereby significantly shortening the length of voyages under sail, and breaking down the rule-of-thumb navigational methods deeply-rooted in maritime culture. With Maury’s publication of The Physical Geography of the Sea in 1855, he became the intellectual and political rival and sometime enemy of key leaders in the American civilian scientific community. Nevertheless, this chapter argues that at a time when the U.S. Navy, the American maritime community, and civilian science were diverging, Maury was just the sort of figure who could bridge increasingly widening intellectual, cultural, and institutional gaps between them.

This paper presents a study of the effects of wind-induced airflow through the urban built layout pattern using statistical analysis. This study investigates the association between typically enclosed office building layout patterns and the wind environment. First of all, this study establishes an ideal site model of 200 m × 200 m and obtains four typical multi-story enclosed office building group layouts, namely the multi-yard parallel opening, the multi-yard returning shape opening, the overall courtyard parallel opening, and the overall courtyard returning shape opening. Then, the natural ventilation performance of different building morphologies is further evaluated via the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software Phoenics. This study compares wind speed distribution at an outdoor pedestrian height (1.5 m). Finally, the natural ventilation performance corresponding to the four layout forms is obtained, which showed that the outdoor wind environment of the multi-yard type is more comfortable than the overall courtyard type, and the degree of enclosure of the building group is related to the advantages and disadvantages of the outdoor wind environment. The quantitative relevance between building layout and wind environment is examined, according to which the results of an ameliorated layout proposal are presented and assessed by Phoenics. This research could provide a method to create a livable urban wind environment.

Due to the complex arrangement of structural components in the vicinity of bridge pylon zones, the wind environment above bridge decks is very complicated. A sudden change in wind speed exerts an adverse effect on vehicle control stability. In order to investigate the characteristics of the flow field in the vicinity of the bridge pylon, the wind environment near an inverted Y-shaped pylon is studied by experimental and numerical methods. From the flow visualization and the wind speed measurement in the wind tunnel and the numerical simulation created using Fluent software, specific patterns of the direction and magnitude of wind speed at a range of vehicle height above the bridge deck near the pylon zone were observed along the longitudinal direction. This distribution pattern of the wind environment can effectively guide the wind barrier arrangement near the bridge pylon zone. Combined with the two safety evaluation indicators proposed in this paper, the optimal arrangement scheme of wind barriers in the bridge pylon zone of Sutong Bridge is determined. This paper deepens the understanding of the wind environment near the pylon zone and proposes an evaluation method for the wind environment near the pylon zone, which can serve as the basis for wind barrier arrangement in similar research projects.

By analyzing measurements of the thermal environment of a qilou (arcade building) street, this study used the relative warmth index (RWI) to evaluate the thermal comfort in the colonnade space of a qilou. The analysis of the influence of the temperature, humidity, and wind speed on the thermal comfort in the colonnade space of a qilou street was conducted, and it was shown that the ambient wind speed had a strong influence on the RWI, indicating that a proper increase in the wind speed positively affected thermal comfort in this space. Then, this study also analyzed the effects of different forms of qilou streets on the wind environment by employing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and summarized the architectural design measures that can improve the thermal comfort, including adopting back chamfer, street gaps, and the appropriate sizing of building components. It was concluded that the wind environment of a qilou could be optimized in terms of these measures, and the average RWI value decreased by 0.06, effectively enhancing the thermal comfort in the colonnade space. The research findings are applicable toward designing a thermally comfortable environment in the transitional space.
