IMPACT OF INTEGRATING WIND CORRIDOR ON COMPACT URBAN MORPHOLOGIES “ANSYS FLUENT AS A CFD TOOL FOR MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT”

Abstract

The research studies the relation between urban morphologies and wind behaviour in compact urban development by integrating urban interventions to create wind corridors in order to increase potentials of generating power from wind resources inside human settlements in a trial to enhance sustainability by increasing energy efficiency and decreasing carbon emissions. Impact of these design interventions on wind behaviour and speed are verified accurately by ANSYS Fluent software as a valid Computational Fluid Dynamics program. The study also concluded that early consideration of wind turbines in compact urban communities in improving energy efficiency of urban communities, enhancing the environment and reducing carbon emissions in the design phase is better than considering them after construction.
