The different colors indicate different air speeds over the structure. Blue is the slowest, with air being virtually at a stand still; yellow is the fastest. I put mine between zero and forty-two meters per second. Obviously, this value would vary depending on the initial speed of the air hitting the building.
Awesome picture Sam! Nicely done! How does wind move around the building on the sides? Same way or does it wrap around more?
ReplyDeleteThanks Des! It wraps around the sides quite a bit more, and can sometimes form turbulence behind the building, where air from the two sides wrap inwards and converge. Because the buildings I'm studying are so tall, it's easier for air to move around their sides, than up and over the top. So the airflow at the sides is much faster. If you were to look at it on a rendering, the colors would be mostly yellow and orange.
ReplyDeleteThat is so neat!! Very Interesting. Excellent Job!
