Title: | Potential wind power utilization in diverging passages between two high-rise buildings : using “Venturi effect” on the Windward Side | Authors: | Juan, YH Wen, CY Yang, AS Montazeri, H Blocken, B |

There is great prospective in the formulation of the building design at early stages to maximize wind power production in dense urban areas. We employed the 3D steady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to investigate the impact of the arrangement of high-rise buildings on the wind energy potential . Two arrays of high-rise buildings with height = 90 m and aspect ratio (height/width) of 4.5 is studied, which focuses on different distances between the side façades of the upstream buildings, ranging from 3 to 21 m. The findings of the study support the high-rise buildings design with respect to integrated urban wind energy harvesting and the concept of sustainable urban development. | Keywords: | High-rise building Urban design Urban wind energy Wall effect |
