A simple wind feasibility appraisal sketch, setting out the key factors that drive the wind microclimate for the site.
Testing the emerging design
The eventual Whitehall Sidings design.
Turning complex airflow into practical advice
An interpretive sketch, summarising key findings from CFD modelling for ease of interpretation by the design team.
Verifying the developed design
What the CFD missed
Imagery from both CFD and wind tunnel test, including close-ups of flow-visualisation ‘tuft’ testing to verify the presence of a recirculation pattern. Together, both tools drive diagnosis of the cause and development of the solution to critical wind effects.
