The flow of wind greatly influences our living environment. The improvement of urban climates, the use of new energy, and risk management for fire or gas leaks are just a few of the many issues that are deeply intertwined with the movement of the wind. The advancement of computer technology in recent years has made it easier to analyze the invisible flow of wind through simulation and visualization techniques. These have been utilized as alternatives to wind tunnel experiments.
Airflow Analyst® is a software that simulates complex wind flows using Geographic Information System (GIS) and spatial data. Analysts can specify the area they want to analyze on the map and accurately recreate and understand the wind flow around the terrain and buildings in that area. This tool enables us to visually explore various wind environments and use them to solve real-world problems.
