Influence of the Wind in Passages

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper is concerned with wind influence on pedestrians in different buildings underpasses where with using of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) is made study about proportion of buildings and underpasses affecting velocity and so pedestrian comfort in passage. For simulation of wind flow is used OpenFOAM software with k-epsilon model, which is in many papers represents as one of the best and most reasonable model for evaluation pedestrian comfort.
