Influence of High-Rise Apartment Building Complex Layout on External Airflow
This paper presents the results of a preliminary study investigating the influence of high-rise apartment building complex layout on external airflow patterns in and around the site. This initial study used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to investigate the airflow patterns of two high-rise apartment complexes currently under construction in a major city in Korea. One complex was composed of the ubiquitous traditional rectangular block shaped highrise structures set on an orthogonal grid. The other was representative of an increasingly popular contemporary variation of none rectangular block structures which are more organically laid out on the site. The work looked at the influences of wind speed and wind direction on the airflow patterns and ventilation performance of these two typical housing block designs. The preliminary findings suggest the contemporary variation achieves better onsite ventilation than the traditional design but at the expense of reduced air movement for neighbors towards the leeward side.
