Strong winds in open spaces can pose a danger to people's safety. This might be the case, for example, of the small air terminals where public parking lots and pedestrian access are very close to the airplanes parking areas and to the runways, and are likely to be exposed to strong winds with no particular architectural barriers.
Local authorities may request airport managers to conduct tests as well as virtual simulation to assess the levels of wind speed and wind pressures.
Our client Syscomax asked our company Vento to carry out the Site Wind Analysis of the Air Inuit Terminal of the YUL Montréal Trudeau Airport, through CFD simulations with wind directions from the North East, South East, South West, and North West.
The model of the air terminal was created using Revit in IFC format.
The video highlights the high level of geometrical details in the IFC model.
Thanks to our Non-Conformal grid technique (NCG), it was possible to generate the CFD-ready model in just a couple of hours, with no need to clean the model or to simplify it.
Special thanks to Syscomax for their kind permission and to our Canadian partner Vincent Soumoy of FLUIDS & C° for the support.
