Wind Engineering AI
AI for analyzing wind effects on buildings and structures.
Definition
Wind Engineering AI helps engineers analyze wind loads, pedestrian wind comfort, and natural ventilation. These systems can predict wind pressures on complex geometries, evaluate pedestrian-level wind conditions, and optimize building forms for wind performance. AI wind analysis supports both structural design and environmental comfort.
In Depth
Wind engineering evaluates the interaction between wind and buildings — designing for structural wind loading (ASCE 7 provisions), pedestrian comfort at ground level, natural ventilation potential, and facade pressure for cladding design. AI performs the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations that wind engineering requires, enabling iterative analysis during design rather than a single wind tunnel test at the end.
Examples
Calculating wind pressures on tall buildings
Analyzing pedestrian wind comfort at grade
Evaluating natural ventilation strategies
