In the past 50 years, Computational Wind Engineering (CWE) has undergone a successful
transition from an emerging field into an increasingly established field in wind engineering …

Wind-driven rain (WDR) or driving rain is rain that is given a horizontal velocity component
by the wind. WDR research is of importance in a number of research areas including earth …

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is increasingly used to study a wide variety of complex
Environmental Fluid Mechanics (EFM) processes, such as water flow and turbulent mixing of …

This article provides an overview of the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in
building performance simulation for the outdoor environment, focused on four topics:(1) …

Rainwater runoff from building facades is a complex process governed by a wide range of
urban, building, material and meteorological parameters. Given this complexity and the wide …

This paper presents a practical numerical method to determine both the spatial and temporal
distribution of driving rain on buildings. It is based on an existing numerical simulation …

Building surface erosion is a common phenomenon observed on historic building façades
due to wind-driven rain (WDR) impact. Recently, studies on climate change and the effect …

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations can be used to assess indoor natural
ventilation by solving the interaction between the urban wind flow and the indoor airflow …

Wind-Driven Rain (WDR) is one of the most important moisture sources that affect the
hygrothermal performance and the durability of building facades. The complexity of WDR …

Detailed knowledge on expected infiltration percentages through various exterior cladding
surfaces is of importance when conducting hygrothermal simulations to evaluate the long …
